Practise explaining Group 2 hydroxide and sulfate solubility using hydration enthalpy and lattice energy.
Describe and explain how the solubility of the Group 2 sulfates varies down the group.
M1 solubility decreases down the group
M2 ΔHlatt and ΔHhyd both become less exothermic / more endothermic
M3 ΔHlatt changes less (than ΔHhyd as SO42− being larger than M2+ )
M4 ΔHsol becomes less exothermic / less negative
