Explanation / Answer

Mass of hydrated sample= 4.5-3.2= 1.3g

Average mass of crucible, cover and dehydrated sample=(4.0407+4.0363+4.0332+4.0332)/4= 4.03585g

Mass of dehydrated sample= 4.03585-3.2= 0.83585g

Mass of water evolved= mass of hydrated - mass of dehydrated sample= 1.3-0.83585= 0.46415g

# moles of water= 0.46415/18= 0.0257 moles

# moles of dehydrated CuSO4= 0.83585/159.609= 0.00523 moles

Ratio of water to CuSO4= 0.0257/0.00523= 4.9= 5

Formula= CuSO4.5H2O

Copper sulfate pentahydrate
