Why `BaSO_(4)` is insoluble whereas `BeSO_(4)` is soluble in water ?

Answer» The lattice enthalpy of `BaSO_(4)` is much than its hydration enthalpy and hence it is insoluble in water . But on, the other hand , hydration enthalpy of `BeSO_(4)` is much higher than its lattice enthalpy because of small size of `Be^(2+)` ions . Therefore , it is highly soluble in water .
