The solubilities of carbonates decreases down the magnesium group due to a decrease in.
A
Lattice energies of solids
B
Hydration energies of cations
C
Inter-ionic attraction
D
Entropy of solution formation
Answer
Hydration energies of cations
Explanation
Solution
Due to decrease in hydration energy of cation and lattice energy remains almost unchanged.
