Question

13 Name a salt which does not contain water of crystallization​

Answer 1

Answer:

Among the various examples of crystalline salts which do not contain water of crystallisation, we have taken the example of potassium chloride.

The chemical formula of potassium chloride

Explanation:

short answer :- potassium chloride

Answer 2

Crystallization water is water that is chemically bound into the form of a crystal. For hydrated copper(II) sulphate, here is the formula. Note that the crystallising water is divided by a dot from the main solution. Hydrated ensures the crystallising water is found in the stable crystals. The salts that do not contain Water of Crystallization are sodium nitrate, potassium chloride, potassium nitrate and barium sulphate.

Crystallizing water is the fixed number of molecules of water contained in one salt formula unit. Or we can say the water is stoichiometrically crystal bound. The chemical formula of hydrated copper sulphate, for example, is CuSO4· 5H2O. Copper sulphate has 5 crystallising water molecules.
