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.

Hey there!
Molar mass N2 = 28.01 g/mol
Therefore:
28.01 g N2 -------------- 6.02*10²² molecules N2
( mass N2 ?? ) ----------- 25,000 molecules N2
mass N2 = ( 25,000 * 28.01 ) / ( 6.02*10²³ )
mass N2 = 700250 / 6.02*10²³
mass N2 = 1.163*10⁻¹⁸ g
Hope that helps!
Fluorine - Seven electrons of it's own.
Lithium would give up one electron, so there for, fluorine is then left with eight.
Answer: There are four atoms
Explanation: mass of Cl atom is 35.45 amu
Amount of atoms n = m/M = 142 / 35.45 = 4
