Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`underset(2.46g)(MSO_(4)).xH_(2)O to underset(1.20g)(MSO_(4)) + xH_(2)O`
Mass of water = 2.46 – 1.20 = 1.26 g
`therefore ` No of moles of `H_(2)O = (1.26)/(18) = 0.07`
No.of moles of `MSO_(4)= (1.20)/(120)=0.01`
`therefore ` 0.07 moles of water associated with 0.01 mole of salt.
Thus, there are 7 moles of water per mole of anhydrous salt.
