Question

What is meant by water of crystallization ?Explain that the crystalline salts contain water of crystallization

Answer 1

heya mate......✌

Answer:

• In chemistry, water(s) of crystallization or water(s) of hydration are water molecules that are present inside crystals. ... Classically, "water of crystallization" refers to water that is found in the crystalline framework of a metal complex or a salt, which is not directly bonded to the metal cation.

• Water of crystallisation is a fixed number of water molecules present in one formula unit of a salt. ... When hydrated salts are heated strongly, they lose their water of crystallisation

Answer 2

Answer:

Water of crystallisation is a fixed number of water molecules present in one formula unit of a salt. One formula unit of copper sulphate contains five water molecules (5H20). The water molecules which form part of the structure of a crystal are called water of crystallisation. When hydrated salts are heated strongly, they lose their water of crystallisation.

On strong heating, blue copper sulphate crystals turn white (due to the loss of water of crystallisation).
