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

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

    B)  \[CaS{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[C{{O}_{2}}\]                                  

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}S\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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