    In which of the following the hydration energy is higher than the lattice energy?  [AIPMT (S) 2007]

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Hydration energy of sulphate decreases from top to bottom in a IInd group. Mg2+ is smaller than other ions of that group so Mg2+ is readily hydrated. MgS04 has higher hydration energy than lattice energy.
