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
- AMg > Ca > Sr > Ba
- BMg > Sr > Ca > Ba
- CMg < Ca < Sr < Ba
- DMg < Sr < Ca < Ba
Correct answer
A. Mg > Ca > Sr > Ba
Step-by-step solution
Hydration power energy
Solubility order of IIA group element sulphates in water:
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 ion with alkali or alkaline earth metal decrease top to bottom.
