• A) They form equally strong attractions with water, because they both have negative heats of mixing.
• B) KF, because it has a more exothermic lattice energy
• C) RbF, because it has a more negative heat of hydration
• D) KF, because it has a more negative heat of hydration
• E) RbF, because it has a less exothermic lattice energy
