Question

Which of the following salts of silver is insoluble in water? (A)  AgClO4  (B)  Ag2SO4  (C)  AgF  (D)  AgNO3

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The solubility of a compound depends upon its hydration enthalpy, if hydration enthalpy exceeds the lattice enthalpy than it is soluble in water. For Ag2SO4, hydration enthalpy is lower than lattice enthalpy. So, it is insoluble in water.
