NEET 2015 Chemistry question
Not in JEE Main or NEET syllabus
Solubility of the alkaline earth's metal sulphates in water decreases in the sequence :-
Answer: (4)
Solution
The solubility of Group 2 sulphates depends on the balance between lattice energy and hydration energy. The sulphate ion is large, so the lattice energy changes little down the group, whereas the hydration energy of the cation falls sharply as its size increases ( smallest,
