AI Generated Solution

To answer the question of why the hydrated chlorides of calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), and barium (Ba) can be dehydrated by heating, while those of beryllium (Be) and magnesium (Mg) undergo hydrolysis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Group All these elements (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba) belong to Group 2 of the periodic table, known as the alkaline earth metals. ### Step 2: Understand Hydrated Chlorides Hydrated chlorides are compounds that contain water molecules in their structure. For example, CaCl2·6H2O is the hydrated chloride of calcium. ...

A sample of a hydrate of barium chloride weighing 61 g was heated until all the water of hydration is removed. The dried sample weighed 52 g. The formula of the hydrated salt is: (atomic mass, Ba = 137 am u, Cl = 35.5 am u)

Sulphates of Be and Mg are readily soluble in water but sulphates of Ca, Sr and Ba are insoluble. This is due to the fact
