Sodium sulphate is soluble in water whereas barium sulphate is sparingly soluble because
A
the hydration energy of sodium sulphate is less than its lattice energy. 
and 
and
B
the lattice energy of barium sulphate is more than its hydration energy. C and D
C
the lattice energy decrease down the period. 
and 
and
D
the hydration energy of sodium sulphate is more than its lattice energy. Choose the correct reasons regarding the above statement.
B and D
B and D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Due to high lattice energy of barium sulphate and high hydration energy of sodium sulphate, barium sulphate is sparingly soluble while sodium sulphate is completely soluble in water.
