BaSo4 is insoluble in water. But Beso4 is soluble. It can be explained through lattice energy and hydration energy. So does it break Fajans rule?

Answer»

In case of ionic BeSO4, the hydration enthalpy is much more than its lattice  enthalpy. Hence, it is water soluble.

BaSO4​ is insoluble in water due to high lattice energy and low hydration energy. Lower the lattice energy and higher the hydration energy more is the solubility.
BaSO4 (It is the Exception of Fajan’s rule).
