In solid CuSO4⋅5H2OCuSO_{4} \cdot 5H_{2}O copper is coordinated to number of water molecules

A

5

B

4

C

1

D

2

Answer

4

Explanation

Solution

In solid CuSO4⋅5H2OCuSO _{4} \cdot 5 H _{2} O four water molecules are coordinated with copper as CuSO4⋅5H2O→[Cu(H2O)4]SO4⋅H2OCuSO _{4} \cdot5 H _{2} O \rightarrow\left[ Cu \left( H _{2} O \right)_{4}\right] SO _{4}\cdot H _{2} O
