    Among the following, the compound that is readily soluble in water is

    A)  \[BeS{{O}_{4}}\]

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

    C)  \[SrS{{O}_{4}}\]

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The solubility of alkaline earth metal sulphates decreases down the group because ionic size increases. \[\text{BeS}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\]is readily soluble in water, because the greater hydration enthalpy of \[\text{B}{{\text{e}}^{\text{2+}}}\] ion overcomers the lattice enthalpy factor.
