उत्तर
MgSO4.7H2O has water of crystallization is 7. When magnesium sulphate heptahydrate crystals are gently heated, it loses seven water molecules and becomes anhydrous magnesium sulphate.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Magnesium sulphate heptahydrate}}{MgSO4.7H2O} ⇌[Heating][Cooling]\underset{\text{Anhydrous Magnesium sulphate}}{MgSO4 + 7H2O}}\]
