(c) When hydrated copper(II) sulfate crystals are heated, anhydrous copper(II)
sulfate forms. A mass of 12.5g of hydrated copper(II) sulfate crystals is heated in a
crucible until all the water of crystallization is removed. A mass of 8.0g of
anhydrous copper(II) sulfate forms.
Show by calculation that the formula of hydrated copper(II) sulfate is CuSO4.5H2O
[Mr of CuSO4 = 159.5 Mr of H2O = 18] (3)
