Correct answer
5
Step-by-step explanation
Mohr's salt : (NH4)2 Fe(SO4)2 . 6H2O
The number of water molecules in Mohr's salt = 6
Potash alum : KAl(SO4)2 . 12H2O
The number of water molecules in potash alum = 12
So ratio of number of water molecules in Mohr's salt and potash alum
= 0.5
= 5 101
The number of water molecules in Mohr's salt = 6
Potash alum : KAl(SO4)2 . 12H2O
The number of water molecules in potash alum = 12
So ratio of number of water molecules in Mohr's salt and potash alum
= 0.5
= 5 101
