Question

Name two crystalline substances which do not contain water of crystallisation

Answer 1

• The water of crystallization is defined as the water molecules that are present inside the crystals.
• Water is often incorporated in the formation of crystals from aqueous solutions.
• Salt is an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base.
• Sodium Nitrate ${\mathrm{NaNO}}_3$, Potassium Chloride $\mathrm{KCl}$, Potassium Nitrate ${\mathrm{KNO}}_3$, and Barium Sulphate ${\mathrm{BaSO}}_4$ are salts that do not contain water for crystallization.
