    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,\[\text{M}{{\text{g}}^{\text{2+}}}\]ion gets more hydrated. Hence, \[x\]is maximum for\[\text{MgS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\text{.}\,\text{x}\,{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}\text{O}\text{.}\]
