Which one of the following alkaline earth metal sulphates has its hydration enthalpy greater than its lattice enthalpy?
Options
- AS r S O 4
- BC a S O 4
- CB e S O 4
- DB a S O 4
Correct answer
C. B e S O 4
Step-by-step solution
Δ H Hydration > Δ H Lattice Salt is soluble. BeSO 4 is soluble due to high hydration energy of small Be 2+ ion. K sp for BeSO 4 is very high.
