Lithium salts are often much less soluble in water than the corresponding salts of other alkali metals. For example, at 188C, the concentration of a saturated LiF solution is 1.0x10-2 M,whereas that of a saturated KF solution is 1.6 M. How would you explain this behavior?
5. What would you predict about the solubilities of beryllium salts and radium salts relative
to the other Group IIA metal salts?
Titanium(III) oxide is prepared by reaction of titanium(IV)oxide with hydrogen at high temperature. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Which oxide doyou expect to have stronger basic properties?
