Water of crystallisation - Refers to water molecules that form an essential part of the crystalline structure of a compound
There are experiments that can be done the one we did at college was adding a carbonate to an acid then heating the solution to dryness and then cover and leave for a few days to crystallise. then reheat the crystals and weigh how much more water has been removed through heating.

ReneWater of crystallization refers to the water molecules that are chemically bound to a compound as it crystallizes. This water is essential for maintaining the crystal structure of the compound and can be driven off through heating or exposure to low humidity. Removing water of crystallization can sometimes lead to changes in the physical properties of a compound.

What kind of water is there?
Tap water Drinking water Sewer water Pipe water River Water Mineral water Pure water Dirty water
What is subaerial weathering?
Subaerial weathering is the process by which rocks and minerals are broken down and worn away by atmospheric elements such as wind, water, and temperature changes. This type of weathering occurs on the Earth's surface, where it is exposed to the elements. Over time, subaerial weathering can lead to the formation of soils and sediments.
Why does water float and sink in water?
Water floats and sinks in water because water in water results in the mixing and diffusion of the water in the other water. This may sound silly, but the question was one dealing with water in water. The mixture of water and water will, after a time, become one homogenous volume of liquid.
DOES THE WATER CYCLE CLEAN THE WATER?
Yes, water cycle cleans the water. Rain water is purest form of water.
What form of water is the most abundant at any time in the water cycle?
water vapor
