Answer: CuSO_4.3H_2O

Explanation:

Let us suppose there are x water molecules. Thus the formula of hydrated compound will be CuSO_4.xH_2O

To calculate the mass percent of element in a given compound, we use the formula:

\text{Mass percent of water}=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{\text{Molar mass of hydrated compound}}\times 100

Given : Mass percent of water = 25.3 %

Mass of water = (18\times x) g

Molar mass of hydrated compound (CuSO_4.xH_2O) = (159.6 +18\times x) g

Putting in the values we get:

25.3=\frac{18\times x}{159.6 +18\times x}\times 100

Solving for x we get:

x=3

Thus the formula of hydrated compound will be CuSO_4.3H_2O

Answer is: f<span>ormula for the hydrated compound is CuSO</span>₄·3H₂O.
ω(H₂O) = 25,3% = 0,253.
ω(CuSO₄) = 100% - 25,3%.
ω(CuSO₄) = 74,7% = 0,747.
ω(H₂O) : M(H₂O) = ω(CuSO₄) : M(CuSO₄).
0,253 : M(H₂O) = 0,747 : 159,6 g/mol.
M(H₂O) = (0,253 · 159,6 g/mol) ÷ 0,747.
M(H₂O) = 54 g/mol.
N(H₂O) = 54 g/mol ÷ 18 g/mol.
N(H₂O) = 3.
