JEE Advanced levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 3 of 3bn152

Select ALL correct hydrate names (Stock notation, Greek prefixes for water).

A $Na X_{2} SO X_{4} \cdot 10 H X_{2} O$ is sodium sulfate decahydrate
B $CaSO X_{4} \cdot 2 H X_{2} O$ is calcium sulfate dihydrate
C $CuSO X_{4} \cdot 5 H X_{2} O$ is copper(I) sulfate pentahydrate
D $FeCl X_{3} \cdot 6 H X_{2} O$ is iron(III) chloride hexahydrate

Answer: A, B, D

Deca- is 10 and di- is 2.

FeCl X_{3}

requires Fe

+ 3

. Copper in

CuSO X_{4}

is

+ 2

, so copper(I) is wrong.
