Answer: No, Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) is insoluble in water because water dipole strength is too weak to separate the anions and cations of the CaSO4 as both Ca 2+ and SO4 2- ions are big and bigger anion stabilizes bigger cation strongly which makes lattice energy high.

Explanation: Hope this helps!!
