Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
Solubility of the alkaline earth's metal sulphates in water decreases in the sequence
Mg>Ca>Sr>Ba
Ca>Sr>Ba>Mg>
Sr>Ca>Mg>Ba
Ba>Mg>Sr>Ca
A.
Mg>Ca>Sr>Ba
The solubility of the sulphates. The sulphates becomes less soluble as you fo down the group i.e
Mg> Ca>Sr> Ba
The magnitude of the lattice energy remains almost constant as the size of the sulphate ion is so big that small increase in the size of the cation from Be to Ba does not make any difference. However, the hydration energy decreases from Be2+ to Ba2+ appreciably as the size of the cation increases down the group. The significantly high solubility of MgSO4 is due to high enthalpy of solvation on the smaller Mg2+ ions.
