Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{The} \mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) contain five molecules as water of crystallisation by each \(\mathrm{CuSO}_4\) molecule. Out of \(5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) molecules, \(4 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) molecules are bonded with the…
