Solution

The correct option is B $B e S O_{4}$
As we go down the group, the solubility of alkaline earth sulphates decreases. Since $B e S O_{4}$ is soluble in water, and $B a S O_{4}$ is not, $B e S O_{4}$ can be said to have more hydration energy.

Q. Which of the following alkaline earth metal sulphates has hydration enthalpy higher than the lattice enthalpy?

Q. Lattice energy and hydration energy are two important properties of ionic solids on which their melting point, boiling point and solubility depend. Lattice energy increases as the charge on the ion increases and the size decreases. Hydration energy increases as the size of the ion decreases and charges on it increases.
The solubilities of carbonates, sulphates and phosphates of alkaline earth metals are much less than those of the corresponding alkali metals. This is because:
