An alkaline earth metal gives a salt with chlorine which is sparingly soluble in water at room temperature but fairly soluble in boiling water. It also forms a sulphate whose mixture with a sulphide of a transition metal is called “lithopone’ and is used as a white pigment. The alkaline earth metal is: Ca, Mg, Sr, Ba

A

Ca

B

Mg

C

Sr

D

Ba

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`BaCl_3` is sparingly soluble in water at room temperature but fairly soluble in boiling water , `BaSO_4` with ZnS is used as white pigment and the mixture is called lithopone.
