The number of water molecule(s) directly bonded to the metal centre in $CuSO_{4} \cdot 5 H_{2} O$ is.

Answer:

4.00

Solution:

In CuSO₄ ∙ 5H₂O, four water molecules are coordinated to the Cu²⁺ ion, forming the complex ion $[C u (H_{2} O)_{4}]^{2 +}$ . The fifth water molecule is involved in hydrogen bonding with the sulfate ion and the coordinated water molecules, but not directly bonded to the metal center.
