Interpret the compound
Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is written as:
Its actual coordination formulation is:
-
Find the secondary valency
According to Werner’s theory, secondary valency equals the coordination number of the metal ion.
In , copper is directly bonded to 4 water molecules.
Hence, secondary valency of copper is:
-
Find the number of hydrogen-bonded water molecules
Total water molecules present = .
Out of these, are coordinated directly to .
Therefore, the remaining water molecule is outside the coordination sphere and is hydrogen bonded in the crystal.
So, number of hydrogen-bonded water molecules =
-
Match with options
- A: and incorrect
- B: and correct
- C: and incorrect
- D: and incorrect
Therefore, the correct answer is B.
