JEE Advanced levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 3 of 3qc215

Which statements about the sulphates and carbonates of group V and VI metals are correct?

  1. A is more soluble than and
  2. Bdilute precipitates immediately from solution
  3. C suspension dissolves in excess water as
  4. D is sparingly soluble and precipitates in dilute solution

Answer: A, B, C

Sulphate solubility falls down group 2, so CaSO4 is the most soluble of the three and BaSO4 is least soluble. CaCO3 reacts with to give soluble bicarbonate. MgSO4 is highly soluble, so option 4 is wrong.
