- The hydration enthalpies of BeSO4 and MgSO4 are quite high because of small size of Be2+ and Mg2+ ions.
- These hydration enthalpy values are higher than their corresponding lattice enthalpies and therefore, BeSO4 and MgSO4 are highly soluble in water.
- However, hydration enthalpies of CaSO4, SrSO4 and BaSO4 are not very high as compared to their respective lattice enthalpies and hence these are insoluble in water.
