Which one of the following alkaline earth metal sulphates has its hydration enthalpy greater than its lattice enthalpy?A. `BaSO_(4)`B. `SrSO_(4)`C. `CaSO_(4)`D. `BeSO_(4)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Soludility order of sulphates in water `BeSO_(4) gt CaSO_(4) gt SrSO_(4) gt BaSO_(4)`
`BeSO_(4)` has greater hydration enthalpy than its lattice enthyalpy
Because `Be^(2+)` ion has maximum charge density.
