PARAGRAPH-II
Solution of salt in water is mainly depends upon the hydration energy and lattice energy. It hydration
energy is greater than lattice energy then the salt becomes soluble. However, if the metallic part of the
salt form soluble complex in some specific conditions then again it becomes soluble under those
conditions, not in pure water. Hydration energy and lattice energy both are directly proportional to q + and
q– (charges on the cationic and anionic part of the slats respectively) and both of those depend on the size
of cations and anions as follows:
1 1
hydrationH     ;r   radiusof cation
r r
r   radiusof anion
1
Lattice energy  U  ;
r  r


In this case if r   r  then lattice energy is less dominant than hydration energy. Lattice energy on the
other hand also depend upon packing of ions in crystal, which further depends upon the size of cation and
anion, better is the packing and more is the lattice energy and less is the solubility

(A) Size difference between M & O decreases (M = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba); Lattice energy
     decreases less rapidly then hydration energy hence solubility decreases.
In (B), (C) and (D) r   r  . . Hence solubility decreases down the group.
