Chemistry: What is water of crystallisation? (1 Viewer)

[enigma_1]

Please explain this in simple language.

Thanks

PS Oh yeah, this is probably a stupid question but oh well.

It's just water molecules attached to ions. this is why you have to properly dry salts first before weighing because some water may be stuck to it and that will cause the mass to be inaccurately measured.
