When hydrated copper(II) sulfate crystals are heated, anhydrous copper(II) sulfate forms. A mass of 12.5 g of hydrated copper(II

) sulfate crystals is heated in a crucible until all the water of crystallisation is removed.
A mass of 8.0 g of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate forms.

The formula of hydrated copper(II) sulfate is CuSO4.10H2O

<h3>What is the formula of the hydrated copper (ii) sulfate salt?</h3>

The formula of the hydrated copper (ii) sulfate is determined as follows:

Mass of hydrated salt = 12.5 g

Mass of anhydrous salt = 8.0 g

Mass of water = 12.5 - 8 = 4.5 g

mole ratio of water and anhydrous salt is;

4.5/18 : 8.0/159.5

0.562 : 0.05

10 : 1

Water of crystallization (n) = 10.

Therefore, the formula of hydrated copper(II) sulfate is CuSO4.10H2O

A. how do you determine the charge of an element?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.

  • When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
  • if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
  • if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.

Charge  = number of protons  - number of electrons

B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.

The desire of every atom is  to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.

A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
