Explanation of the strategy: 1) calculate the mass of water and convert to number of moles, 2) convert the mass of anhydrous CuSO4 to moles, and, 3)calculate the mole ratio of water to CuSO4 anhydrous
1) Calculate the mass of water:
mass of water = mass of the hydrate CuSO4 - mass of the anhydrous compound
mass of water = 12.98 g - 9.70 g = 3.28g
2) Calculate the number of moles of water
number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
molar mass of water = 18.01 g/mol
number of moles of water = 3.28 g / 18.01 g/mol = 0.182 mol
3) Calculate the number of moles of CuSO4 anhydrous
number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
molar mass of Cu SO4 = 159.6 g/mol
number of moles of CuSO4 = 9.70g / 159.6 g/mol = 0.0608 moles
4) Calculate the ratio moles of water / moles of CuSO4
ratio = moles of water / moles of CuSO4 = 0.182 / 0.0608 = 2.99 ≈ 3
Therefore the molecular formula is CuSO4 . 3H2O
Name: copper(II) sulfate trihydrate.
Answer : The correct option is C.
Explanation :
Chemical change : It is defined as a change in which a new compounds are formed by the chemical reaction. Changes occurs in their chemical composition and properties.
The molecular structure of a substance changes in a chemical reaction is a chemical change.
- Change in molecular structure means that there is a breaking and formation of bonds in a molecule.
The example of chemical change in terms of change in molecular structure is the reaction of hydrogen with oxygen.
The reaction of hydrogen with oxygen is,

In this reaction, the H-H bond is break and O-H bond is form.
Answer:
The crust is made of solid rocks and minerals. Beneath the crust is the mantle, which is also mostly solid rocks and minerals, but punctuated by malleable areas of semi-solid magma. At the center of the Earth is a hot, dense metal core.
Explanation:
Lots of substances. Rocks, metals, minerals, you name it.
