Calculate the percentage composition of water of crystallisation in the following compounds -
I. FeSO4 . 7H20
II. Na2B4O7 . 10H2O
FeSO4 . 7H2O
Mass of FeSO4.7H2O = 278 g
Mass of water of crystallization (7H2O) = 7 x 18 = 126 g
Therefore, percentage composition of water of crystallization = 126/278 x 100
= 45.32 %
