On recrystallization, 20g of magnesium tetraoxosuphate (IV) forms 41 g of magnesium tetraoxosulphate (IV) crystals, MgSO4. yH2O. The value of y is?

(Mg = 24, S = 32, O = 16, H = 1)
A
1
B
3
C
5
D
7
correct option: d
MgSO4. YH2O
120g (MgSo4) contains - 18g (water)
20g contain (41 - 20g) water.
120g → 18 y; 20 → 21
∴ 18 y = (126)/(18) = 7
