    Number of water molecules coordinated to the central metal ion to form complexes in (I) Blue vitriol, (II) White vitriol and (III) Green vitriol are, respectively,

    A) 4, 4 and 6           

    B) 5, 5 and 7          

    C) 6, 6 and 4           

    D) 7, 5 and 5

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Blue vitriol:      \[\begin{align}   & CuS{{O}_{4}}.5{{H}_{2}}O \\  & \Downarrow  \\  & {{\left[ \overset{2+}{\mathop{Cu}}\,{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}} \right]}^{+2}}S{{O}_{4}}^{-2}.{{H}_{2}}O \\ \end{align}\] White vitriol: \[ZnS{{O}_{4}}.5{{H}_{2}}O\Rightarrow \] \[{{\left[ \overset{+2}{\mathop{Zn}}\,{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}} \right]}^{+2}}SO_{4}^{2-}.{{H}_{2}}O\] Green vitriol:  \[FeS{{O}_{4}}.7{{H}_{2}}O\Rightarrow \]                                     \[{{\left[ \overset{+2}{\mathop{Fe}}\,{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}} \right]}^{+2}}SO_{4}^{2-}{{H}_{2}}O\] Coordination number of \[C{{u}^{+2}},\,Z{{n}^{+2}},\] and \[F{{e}^{+2}}\] are 4, 4 and 6 respectively
