JEE Main 2015 Chemistry question
Which one of the following alkaline earth metal sulphates has its hydration enthalpy greater than its lattice enthalpy?
Answer: (3)
Solution
Solubility requires the hydration enthalpy to exceed the lattice enthalpy. Because the sulphate ion is large, the lattice enthalpies of these sulphates are similar, while
