In sodium chloride, there is no water of crystallization, but it is in crystalline shape. It is a crystalline salt without water of crystallization.

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes!

Sodium Chloride (NaCl) does not have any water of crystallization.

Explanation:

Water of crystallization is the fixed number of water molecules present in one formula unit of a salt.

For Example :-

Five water molecules are present in one formula unit of Copper Sulfate. The Chemical Formula for hydrated copper Sulfate is CuSO₄.5H₂O.

Now, the salt NaCl has no Water of Crystallization as its Chemical Formula is simply NaCl and no water is bound to it.

• Some other salts containing no water of crystallization are Potassium Nitrate (KNO₃ ), Barium Sulfate (BaSO₄ ), Sodium Nitrate (NaNO₃ ), Potassium Chloride (KCl)
