Options
- A[ Cr ( H ₂ O )₆ ]³⁺ .3 Cl ⁻
- BCuSO ₄ .5 H ₂ O
- C[ Cu ( H ₂ O )₂ ( NH ₃ )₅ ] Cl ₂
- DBaCl ₂ .2 H ₂ O
Correct answer
D. BaCl ₂ .2 H ₂ O
Step-by-step solution
BaCl ₂ 2 H ₂ O Interstitial water molecules can be found in BaCl ₂ 2 H ₂ O salt. Between the first and second solvation shells, water molecules are primarily trapped. It can be found in the crystal lattice's interstitial locations. Two interstitial water molecules in barium chloride dihydrate.
