Wired Faculty App

The correct order of increasing thermal stability of K2CO3, MgCO3, CaCO3 and BeCO3 is:

  • BeCO3 < MgCO3 < K2CO3 <CaCO3

  • BeCO3 < MgCO3 < CaCO3 <K2CO3

  • MgCO3 < BeCO3 < CaCO3 < K2CO3

  • K2CO3 < MgCO3 < CaCO3 < BeCO3

Solution

B.

BeCO3 < MgCO3 < CaCO3 <K2CO3

Thermal stability of carbonates increases in a group as we move from top to bottom and decreases in a period as we move from left to right. so, the correct order of thermal stability of given carbonates is:
BeCO3 < MgCO3 < CaCO3 < K2CO3
Be, Mg and Ca present in second group and K present in the first group.
