Step 1: Define
[Given] 1 mol CuSO₄ · 5H₂O (Copper II sulfate pentahydrate)
Step 2: Identify Conversions
[PT] Molar Mass of Cu - 63.55 g/mol
[PT] Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol
[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol
[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol
Molar Mass of CuSO₄ - 63.55 + 32.07 + 4(16.00) = 159.62 g/mol
Molar Mass of H₂O - 2(1.01) + 16.00 = 18.02 g/mol
Step 3: Convert
There is 5 moles of water added for every one mole of Copper II Sulfate present.
Step 4: Check
Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 1 sig fig.
249.72 g CuSO₄ · 5H₂O ≈ 200 g CuSO₄ · 5H₂O
