Best answer
  • The sulphates of the alkaline earth metals are all white solids and stable to heat. 
  • BeSO4 and MgSO4 are readily soluble in water; the solubility decreases from CaSO4 to BaSO4
  • The greater hydration enthalpies of Be2 and Mg2 ions overcome the lattice enthalpy factor and therefore their suiphates are soluble in water. 

Solubility order : BeSO4 < CaSO4 < BaSO4
