Question

(b)Calculate the number of moles of CuSO4 that were in the impure sample of CuSO4(s) .

Answer 1

Answer:

The questions are incomplete

Explanation:

(b) This question is incomplete. However to calculate the number of moles of CuSO₄ present in the impure sample. The formula below can be used;

number of moles = mass of CuSO₄ present in the impure sample ÷ molar mass of CuSO₄

(c) This question is also incomplete. However, to calculate the mass percentage of CuSO₄ present in the impure sample of CuSO₄, the formula below can be used.

Mass percentage of CuSO₄ =

mass of CuSO₄ present in the impure sample/mass of impure CuSO₄ × 100

Thus, the mass of the impure sample must be measured also since the actual mass of the CuSO₄ present in the impure sample must have been measured before calculating the number of moles.
