                    In which of the following the hydration energy is higher than the lattice energy?                              

    A)                 \[BaS{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)                 \[MgS{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)                         \[RaS{{O}_{4}}\]     

    D)                 \[SrS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                                   Hydration energy of sulphate decreases from top to bottom in a Ilnd group. \[M{{g}^{2+}}\] is smaller than other ions of that group so \[M{{g}^{2+}}\] is readily hydrated. \[MgS{{O}_{4}}\] has higher hydration energy than lattice energy.
