Answer 1

Answer:

BOTH ASSERTION AND REASON IS TRUE AND REASON IS THE CORRCT EXPLANATION OF ASSERTION

Answer 2

• Copper sulpate has the chemical formula of CuSO₄.5H₂O.
• It has five water of crystallization.
• Copper sulpate ( CuSO₄.5H₂O) is dry and not wet.
• The water of crystallization has no relation to determining the compound would be dry or wet.
• Hence, the assertion is wrong.
• The water of crystallization is a fixed number of molecules of water present in one formula unit of salt.
• Hence, the reason is true.

The assertion is false, and the reason is true.
