`MgSO_4` is soluble while `BaSO_4` is insoluble in `H_2O`. This is because

A

lattice energy of `BaSO_4` is greater than `MgSO_4`

B

`BaSO_4` is more covalent than `MgSO_4`

C

hydration energy of `Mg^(2+)` is greater than `Ba^(2+)`

D

lattice energy of `MgSO_4` is greater than `BaSO_4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
hydration energy of `Mg^(2+)` is greater than `Ba^(2+)`
