Solution

The correct option is C
Molecular mass of anhydrous $Z n S O_{4} = 65.5 + 32 + (4 \times 16) = 161.5$
1.615 g of anhydrous $Z n S O_{4}$ combines with (2.875 - 1.615) g = 1.260 g of water
Hence 161.5 g of $Z n S O_{4}$ combines with 126 g of water = $\frac{126}{18} = 7$ moles of water
Hence formula of hydrate $Z n S O_{4}$ is $Z n S O_{4} .7 H_{2} O$
