Given parameters:
Volume of CuSO₄ = 250mL
Concentration of CuSO₄ = 2.01M
Unknown:
Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = ?
To solve this problem, we must write the chemical relationship between both species.;
CuSO₄.5H₂O → CuSO₄ + 5H₂O
Now that we know the expression, it is possible to solve for the unknown mass.
First find the number of moles of CuSO₄;
Number of moles = Concentration x Volume
Take 250mL to L so as to ensure uniformity of units;
Volume = 250 x 10⁻³L
Input the parameters and solve for number of moles;
Number of moles = 250 x 10⁻³ x 2.01 = 0.5mol
From the equation;
1 mole of CuSO₄ is produced from 1 mole of CuSO₄.5H₂O
So 0.5 moles of CuSO₄ will be produced from 0.5 moles of CuSO₄.5H₂O
Now let us find the molar mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = 63.6 + 32 + 4(16) + 5(2x1 + 16) = 249.6g/mole
Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = number of moles x molar mass
= 0.5 x 249.6
= 124.8g
The mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 124.8g
Explanation:
I think you wanted to ask what is the meaning by the term alloy:
alloy is a metallic substance which is composed of two or three elements, as either a compound or solution..
You start by using proportions to find the number of liters of solution:
180 g of glucose / 1 liter of solution = 18 g of glucose / x liter of solution
=> x = 18 g of glucose * 1 liter of solution / 180 g of glucose = 0.1 liter of solution.
If you assume that the 18 grams of glucose does not apport volume to the solution but that the volume of the solution is the same volumen of water added (which is the best assumption you can do given that you do not know the how much the 18 g of glucose affect the volume of the solution) then you should add 0.1 liter of water.
Answer: 0.1 liter of water.
