According to the CuSO4.5H2O (k) heat CuSO4 (k) + 5 H2O (g) equation, the crystal water amount of copper sulfate and its rough formula will be calculated.
Weight of copper sulfate containing crystal water = m1 = 249.62… g
Weight of copper sulfate without crystal water weighed = m2 = 159.62 g
Accordingly, calculate the x and y values in the molecular formula of copper sulfate (xCuSO4.yH2O).
