    Which of the following alkaline earth metal sulphates has hydration enthalpy higher than the lattice enthalpy?

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

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

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

    D)  \[BaS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Hydration energy decreases down the group, whereas lattice energy remains almost constant. Thus, hydration enthalpy is higher than the lattice enthalpy in case of\[BeS{{O}_{4}}\].
