Q15 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (12 Apr Shift 2) · Chemistry

The incorrect statement is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    LiNO3 decomposes on heating to give LiNO2 and O2.
  • B
    LiCl crystallises from aqueous solution as LiCl-2H2O .
  • C
    Lithium is the strongest reducing agent among the alkali metals.
  • D
    Lithium is least reactive with water among the alkali metals.

Solution

4LiNO3→Δ2Li2O+4NO2g+O2g
Due to small size of Li+1, its hydration energy is high and forms hydrate salt undefined

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
