Mg NO 3 2 . XH 2 O and Ba NO 3 2 . YH 2 O , represent formula of the crystalline forms of nitrate salts. Sum of X and Y is.......
Correct answer
6
Step-by-step solution
Magnesium nitrate crystallises with six molecules of water, whereas barium nitrate is anhydrous salts. The hydrated form of magnesium nitrate is Mg NO 3 2 . 6 H 2 O and anhydrous salt of barium nitrate is Ba NO 3 2 respectively ∴   x = 6 ,   y = 0
