JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 26th August Morning Shift - No. 18)

The ratio of number of water molecules in Mohr's salt and potash alum is ____________ $$\times$$ 10$$-$$1. (Integer answer)
Answer
5

Explanation

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

$$ = {6 \over {12}}$$

$$ = {1 \over 2}$$

= 0.5

= 5 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$1
