Solubility of alkaline earth metal sulphates decreases down the group 2 because
They become more ionic
Lattice energy of sulphates does not vary significantly
Hydration energy decreases rapidly from Be2+ to Ba2+
Lattice energy plays more predominant role than hydration energy
A more economical process but based on same principle was given by
Solvay
Leblanc
Williamson
Haber
