The correct order of the solubility of alkaline-earth metal...

The correct order of the solubility of alkaline-earth metal sulphates in water is:

Options

  1. AMg > Ca > Sr > Ba
  2. BMg > Sr > Ca > Ba
  3. CMg < Ca < Sr < Ba
  4. DMg < Sr < Ca < Ba

Correct answer

A. Mg > Ca > Sr > Ba

Step-by-step solution

Hydration power energy ∝∝ q1q2(1r++1r−){\text{q}}_{\text{1}} {\text{q}}_{\text{2}} ( \dfrac{\text{1}}{{\text{r}}_{+}} \text{+}\dfrac{\text{1}}{{\text{r}}_{-}} )

∴∴ Solubility order of IIA group element sulphates in water:

MgSO4>CaSO4>SrSO4>BaSO4MgS{O}_{4} > CaS{O}_{4} > SrS{O}_{4} > BaS{O}_{4}

Generally bigger size ion form a strong bond with bigger ion so solubility will decrease or smaller the cation, greater the hydration sphere.
Hence, Solubility of SO4−2{SO}_{4}^{- 2} ion with alkali or alkaline earth metal decrease top to bottom.
