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 energy of alkalinie earth metals sulphates decreases down the group. `Mg^(2+)` being smaller than the other ions , is readily hydrated. Thus, `MgSO_(4)` has higher hydration energy than lattice energy. |
