In which of the following is the hydration energy higher than the lattice energy?

A

`BaSO_(4)`

B

`MgSO_(4)`

C

`RaSO_(4)`

D

`SrSO_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Hydration energy of alkalinie earth metals sulphates decreases down the group. `Mg^(2+)` being smaller than the other ions , is readily hydrated. Thus, `MgSO_(4)` has higher hydration energy than lattice energy.
