Why solubility of alkaline earth metal hydroxides increases from `Be(OH)_(2)` to `Ba(OH)_(2)`? |
| Answer» Among alkaline earth metal hydroxides the anion being common the cationic radius will infuence the lattice enthalpy Since lattice enthalpy decreases much more than the hydration enthalpy with increasing ionic size, the solubility increase as we go down the group. | |
