Question
The alkaline earth metal sulphate(s) which are readily soluble in water is/are : A. BeSO4 B. MgSO4 C. CaSO4 D. SrSO4 E. BaSO4 Choose the correct answer from the options given below : (A) A and B (B) A only (C) B only (D) B and C
Answer: A
💡 Solution & Explanation
BeSO4 and MgSO4 are readily soluble in water. The greater hydration enthalpies of Be2+ and Mg2+ ions overcome the lattice enthalpy factor and hence sulphates of Be+2 & Mg+2 are soluble in water. | JEE(Main) 2023 | DATE : 30-01-2023 (SHIFT-1) | PAPER-1 | OFFICIAL PAPER | CHEMISTRY PAGE # 6
