Dear student
 
Please only one Question in one thread.
 

As you can see there is 5 H20 that is 5 crystal waters.The 5 molecules of water present in the crystal framework of the molecule where four water molecules are coordinated to Cu+2, while one is hydrogen bonded with SO42-

Copper sulfate pentahydrate contains copper(II) in a geometry best described as distorted octahedral. The copper(II) is bound to four water molecules in a square-planar geometry and two oxygen atoms from two sulfate ions (one H2O is H-Bonded here).

in case of copper sulphate for molecules of water are attached to the CU 2 + Ion to form a square planar structure where as one molecule of water is hydrogen bonded. in case of Barium Chloride the water molecules occupy the voids present in the Barium Chloride lattice.
In copper sulphate pentahydrate for molecules of water form dative bonds.
