Solubility of sulphates of alkaline metals -

Solubility in water decreases from Be to Ba

- wherein

 

Lattice energy is constant whereas hydration energy decreases from Be^{2}^{+}\ to\ Ba^{2}^{+}

 

 

 

 

 

 Among alkaline earth metal sulphates, lattice energy remains almost constant as we go down the group but hydration enthalpy decreases dramatically. Sa, B_{e}SO_{4}  has higher hydration enthalpy than its lathia enthalpy.
