An example of a crystalline substance that does not possess water of crystallization is

A.

potassium trioxonitrate (V)

B.

sodium tetraoxosulphate (VI).

C.

iron (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI)

D.

sodium trioxocarbonate (IV).

Correct answer is B

The chemical formula for sodium tetraoxosulphate (VI) is \(Na_2SO_4\). It is also known as sodium sulfate. This compound does not have any water molecules as part of its crystal structure, making it anhydrous. So, it is an example of a crystalline substance that does not possess water of crystallization.
