The magnitude of lattice energy of a solid increases if

The solubility of most salts depends on the lattice energy of the solid and the hydration energy of the ions. On descending the group, the hydration energy decreases more rapidly than the lattice energy, hence the compound become less soluble as the metals gets larger. however, with the fluorides and hydroxides and the lattice energy decreases more rapidly than the hydration energy and so their solubility increases on descending the group. Q. The most soluble hydroxide will be

Sodium sulphate is soluble in water whereas barium sulphate is sparingly soluble because (a) the hydration energy of Na_(2)SO_(4) is less than its lattice energy (b) the hydration energy of Na_(2)SO_(4) is more than its lattice energy (c) the lattice energy of BaSO_(4) is more than its hydration energy (d) the lattice energy has no role to play in solubility
