(A) Crystals of some salt are colourful. It is due the presence of water of crystallization.
Explanation:
- The structure of a crystal that is formed by the water molecules is known as water of crystallization.
- The role of water of crystallization in crystals of salts is to give the shape and colour and it has fixed number of water molecules.
- Hydrated salts are the salts that has water of crystallization.
- The water of crystallization can be lost when the salt is heated and due to this heating, it losses its colour and shape.
- For example, 5 water molecules are present in copper sulphate (CuSO₄.5H₂O)crystals, so the colour of the crystal is blue.
- In the presence of water of crystallization, the crystals are colored and in the absence of water of crystallization, it is colorless.
