Which sulphate is not soluble in water?
Correct answer: D. Barium sulphate
- A. Sodium sulphate
- B. Potassium sulphate
- C. Zinc sulphate
- D. Barium sulphate
Explanation
Option D, Barium sulphate, is the correct answer because it has a very low solubility in water, unlike the other options which are soluble. Sodium sulphate, potassium sulphate, and zinc sulphate all dissolve in water to produce their respective ions, while barium sulphate remains mostly insoluble.
