The s-Block Elements
In which of the following the hydration energy is higher than the lattice energy?
BaSO4
MgSO4
RaSO4
SrSO4
B.
MgSO4
Hydration energy of sulphate decreases from top to bottom in an IInd group. Mg2+ is smaller than other ions of that group so Mg2+ is readily hydrated. MgSO4 has higher hydration energy than lattice energy.
