In which of the following is the hydration energy higher than the lattice energy?A. `BaSO_4`B. `MgSO_4`C. `RaSO_4`D. `SrSO_4`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Hydration enery of sulphate decreases from top to bottom in II group . `Mg^(2+)` is smaller than other given ions of II group, so `Mg^(2+)` is readily hydrated . `MgSO_4` has higher hydration energy than lattice energy .
