The increasing order of solubility is


(A) LiHCO3 < KHCO3 < NaHCO3
(B) NaHCO3 < KHCO3 < LiHCO3
(C) KHCO3 < NaHCO3 < LiHCO3
(D) LiHCO3 < NaHCO3 < KHCO3

Ans. D

Sol. Solubility of salt is function of lattice energy and hydration energy. For maximum solubility of salt, hydration energy should be high and lattice energy should be low.
