Question

how many water molecules of crystallisation are present in a molecule of baking soda​

Answer 1

Baking Soda doesn't associate itself with any water of crystallization.

Molecular Formula of Baking Soda:

$\boxed{\huge{\bold{NaHCO_{3}}}}$

Water of crystallization is the number of water molecules attached to one formula unit of salt.

In case of Baking Soda , the salt doesn't have any molecule of water attached to its lattice structure. Hence , the water of crystallization is zero.

$\boxed{\huge{\bold{NaHCO_{3}.0H_{2}O}}}$

Other examples of salts having water of crystallization are :

• Epsom Salt
• Blue vitriol , etc.
