The solubility in water of sulphate down...

The solubility in water of sulphate down the Be group is `Be gt Mg gt Ca gt Sr gt Ba.`

A

High heat of solvation for smaller ions like `Be^(2+)`

B

Increasing molecular weight

C

Decreasing lattice energy

D

Increase in melting points

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The hydration energy decreases from `Be^(+2)" to "Ba^(+2)`. This causes the decrease in the solubilities of the sulphates in this order. In other words, the solubilities decreases with increase in the ionic size.

The solubility of alkli metals salts in water is due to the fact that the cations get hydrated by water molecules. The degree of hydration depends upon the size of the cation. If the trend of relative ionic radii is Cs^(+) gt Rb^(+) gt K^(+) gt Na^(+) gt Li^(+) . What is the relative degree of hydration?

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
