The ratio of number of water molecules in Mohr's salt and potash alum is ____________ ×\times 10 −- 1. (Integer answer)

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

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

=612= {6 \over {12}}

=12= {1 \over 2}

= 0.5

= 5 ×\times 10 −- 1
