Calculate the formula mass of CuSO4.5H2O. [Atomic mass of Cu = 63.5 u

1.	Calculate the formula mass of CuSO4.5H2O. [Atomic mass of Cu = 63.5 u, S = 32 u, O = 16 u, H = 1 u]
Answer» Formula unit mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O: Atomic mass of Cu + Atomic mass of S + (4× atomic mass of O) + 5 (2× atomic mass of H + atomic mass of O) 63.5 u + 32 u + 4× 16u + 5 (2 × 1 u + 16 u) 63.5 u + 32 u + 64 u + 90 u 249.5 u Thus, the formula unit mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 249.5 u

Calculate the formula mass of CuSO4.5H2O. [Atomic mass of Cu = 63.5 u, S = 32 u, O = 16 u, H = 1 u]

Answer»

Formula unit mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O:

Atomic mass of Cu + Atomic mass of S + (4× atomic mass of O) + 5 (2× atomic mass of H + atomic mass of O)

63.5 u + 32 u + 4× 16u + 5 (2 × 1 u + 16 u)

63.5 u + 32 u + 64 u + 90 u

249.5 u

Thus, the formula unit mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 249.5 u
