Q. Statement 1: $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ is soluble in water while $BaSO_{4}$ is insoluble
Statement 2: Lattice energy of $BaSO_{4}$ exceeds its hydration energy

The s-Block Elements

Solution:

Both Statements are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1
Lattice energy of $Na_{2}SO_{4}$ is less than its hydration energy but the lattice energy of $BaSO_{4}$ exceeds its hydration energy
