`BeSO_4` is soluble in water but `BaSO_4` is insoluble because

A

`BeSO_4` is ionic while `BaSO_4` is covalent

B

`BeSO_4` is crystalline while `BaSO_4` is amorphous

C

`BeSO_4` has smaller lattice energy and high heat of hydration as compared to `BaSO_4`

D

`BeSO_4` is ionic while `BaSO_4` is covalent

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Solubiltiy increases with increase in hydration energy and decrease in lattice energy.
