Assertion : Sodium sulphate is soluble in water but barium sulphate is sparingly soluble.
Reason: The hydration energy of Na₂SO₄ is greater than its lattice energy, but the lattice energy of BaSO₄ is greater than its hydration energy.
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Solubility depends on the balance between lattice energy and hydration energy. For Na₂SO₄, hydration energy > lattice energy, making it soluble. For BaSO₄, lattice energy > hydration energy, making it sparingly soluble.
