Comment on the solubility of calcium sulphate in water.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Calcium sulphate is sparingly soluble in water. During its dissolution in water, heat is evolved.
Therefore, solubility of calcium sulphate decreases with increases in temperature.
However, calcium sulphate is more soluble in aqueous ammonium sulphate. This is due to the formation of a double salt calcium ammonium sulphate.

BeO and Be(OH)_(2) are amphoteric while the oxides and hydroxides of other alkaline earth metals are basic. The solubility of hydroxides increases as we move down the group from Be to Ba but the solubility of sulphates and carbonates decreases in that order the thermal stability of carbonates and sulphates of alkaline earth metals increases from Be to Ba as we move from top to bottom in the group. The solubility in water of sulphates down the Be group is Be gt Mg gt Ca gt Sr gt Ba this is due to
