Answer:
Water of crystallisation is the number of water molecules that combine chemically in definite molecular proportion, with the concerned salt in the crystalline state. This water is responsible for the geometric shape and colour of the crystals.
An example of water of crystallization is the water that drips off of a water crystal hanging from the eaves of the house as it warms up after a freezing rain.
the chemical formula of water of crystallization
The mole ratio of CuSO4 : H2O is 4.00/160 : 2.25/18. which is 0.025 : 0.125 or 1 : 5, so the formula of the hydrated salt is CuSO4.5H2O.
