Substances with High Lattice Energies Tend to Be Less Soluble

Multiple Choice

Substances with high lattice energies tend to be less soluble than substances with low lattice energies.On that basis predict the relative aqueous solubility at 20°C,from highest to lowest,of the following ionic compounds: Ce₂(SO₄) ₃,K₂SO₄,KBr,NaCl.

A) Ce₂(SO₄) ₃ > K₂SO₄ > KBr > NaCl
B) Ce₂(SO₄) ₃ > K₂SO₄ > NaCl > KBr
C) KBr > NaCl > K₂SO₄ > Ce₂(SO₄) ₃
D) NaCl > KBr > K₂SO₄ > Ce₂(SO₄) ₃
