Wired Faculty App

The correct order of the mobility of the alkali metal ions in aqueous solution is:

  • Li+>Na+ > K+ > Rb+

  • Na+>K+ > Rb+  > Li+

  • K+ > Rb+ >Na+ > Li+

  • Rb+ > K+ > Na+ > Li+

Solution

D.

Rb+ > K+ > Na+ > Li+

The correct order of the mobility of the alkali metal ions in aqueous solutions 
Rb+ > K+ > Na+ > Li+ due to following order of hydration energy of these ions Li+ > Na+ > K+ > Rb+ and due to hydration of ion, mobility decreases.
