Which of the following alkaline earth metal sulphates has hydration enthalpy higher than the lattice enthalpy?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

For a substance to be soluble, hydration enthalpy must be greater than or equal to lattice enthalpy. Solubility of alkaline earth metal sulphates decreases down the group. and are readily soluble because the high hydration enthalpy of the small and ions outweighs the lattice enthalpy.
