Answer:
Weigh the empty crucible, and then weigh into it between 2 g and 3 g of hydrated copper(II) sulphate. Record all weighings accurate to the nearest 0.01 g.
Support the crucible securely in the pipe-clay triangle on the tripod over the Bunsen burner.
Heat the crucible and contents, gently at first, over a medium Bunsen flame, so that the water of crystallisation is driven off steadily. The blue colour of the hydrated compound should gradually fade to the greyish-white of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate. Avoid over-heating, which may cause further decomposition, and stop heating immediately if the colour starts to blacken. If over-heated, toxic or corrosive fumes may be evolved. A total heating time of about 10 minutes should be enough.
Allow the crucible and contents to cool. The tongs may be used to move the hot crucible from the hot pipe-clay triangle onto the heat resistant mat where it should cool more rapidly.
Re-weigh the crucible and contents once cold.
Calculation:
Calculate the molar masses of H2O and CuSO4 (Relative atomic masses: H=1, O=16, S=32, Cu=64)
Calculate the mass of water driven off, and the mass of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate formed in your experiment
Calculate the number of moles of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate formed
Calculate the number of moles of water driven off
Calculate how many moles of water would have been driven off if 1 mole of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate had been formed
Write down the formula for hydrated copper(II) sulfate.

Explanation:
<span>The atoms or molecules attain enough kinetic energy to overcome any intermolecular attractions they have. Since there are no longer any attractive forces between the particles, they are free to drift away into space. The same sort of thing happens in ordinary evaporation, but only at the surface. </span>
Answer:
0.75 cal/g°c
Explanation:
for specific heat we have formula:
Amount of heat absorbed or released = mass x specific heat of a substance x change in temperature.
ΔQ=m x c x ΔT
where c= specific heat
m= mass of a substance
ΔT = total temperature
ΔQ = Amount of heat
so for specific heat,
c= ΔQ/mxΔT
c= 280/25x (25-10)
c= 280/375
c= 0.75 cal/g°c
mass defect = mass of constituents - mass of atom
N has 7p and 9n
proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu
neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu
electron mass ~ 0.000549 amu
Nitrogen mass ~ 14.003074 amu
mass defect = (7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549)
- 14.003074
= 0.11235amu
convert to energy, the binding energy = 1.68x10^-11 J
