Q. The solubilities of carbonates decrease down the magnesium group due to a decrease in

UPSEEUPSEE 2007

Solution:

Solubilities of carbonates decreases down the group because lattice energy decrease is almost constant while decrease in hydration energy downs sharply, finally difference of hydration energy and lattice energy decrease thus solubility decreases.
