Question

Which of the following statements regarding the halides of Group 1 metals is correct?
Options
A All Group 1 halides are generally insoluble in water.
B Halides of lithium dissolve with ease, unlike other Group 1 halides.
C Hydrohalic acids can be prepared by reacting metal halides like NaCl with strong acids like H₂SO₄.
Correct Answer
D Only fluorides and chlorides are soluble; bromides and iodides are insoluble.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 12 states: 'The halides (i.e. fluorides, chlorides, bromides and iodides) are generally soluble in water.' and 'Halides of lithium dissolve with difficulty.' It also provides an example reaction: 'NaCl(s) + H₂SO₄(l) → NaHSO₄(s) + HCl(g)' for preparing hydrohalic acids. Option C is directly supported by the text.

Hint

Refer to the 'Halides of group 1 metals' section on page 12, particularly the paragraph about hydrohalic acid preparation.
