    The value of \[x\] is maximum for

    A)  \[MgS{{O}_{4}}\,.\,\,x\,{{H}_{2}}O\]

    B)  \[CaS{{O}_{4}}\,.\,\,x\,{{H}_{2}}O\]

    C)  \[BaS{{O}_{4}}\,.\,\,x\,{{H}_{2}}O\]

    D)  All have the same value of \[x\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    As the size of metal atom increases, degree of hydration decreases. Thus, \[M{{g}^{2+}}\] ion gets more hydrated. Hence, \[x\] is maximum for\[MgS{{O}_{4}}\,.\,\,x{{H}_{2}}O\].
