In an electrically neuteral atom, number of protons = number of electrons = atomic number.
Mass number = neutrons + protons/electrons/atomic number
Therefore,
neutrons = mass number - <span>protons/electrons/atomic number
Neutrons = 33 - 15 = 18
The answer is thus B. But this is the solution and explanation along with it as proof.</span>
The formula of hydrated copper(II) sulfate is CuSO4.10H2O
<h3>What is the formula of the hydrated copper (ii) sulfate salt?</h3>
The formula of the hydrated copper (ii) sulfate is determined as follows:
Mass of hydrated salt = 12.5 g
Mass of anhydrous salt = 8.0 g
Mass of water = 12.5 - 8 = 4.5 g
mole ratio of water and anhydrous salt is;
4.5/18 : 8.0/159.5
0.562 : 0.05
10 : 1
Water of crystallization (n) = 10.
Therefore, the formula of hydrated copper(II) sulfate is CuSO4.10H2O

Answer:
Copper is more reactive and higher in the activity series
Explanation:
Copper is able to replace the silver in a replacement reaction because it is more reactive and higher in the activity series.
Substances or ions that are higher in the activity series are typically more reactive than those ones below them.
In like manner, they are able to replace the lowers ones in a chemical reaction due to their higher reactivity potential.
A less reactive element and a lower one in the activity series cannot displace a higher one in the series.
Okay, to explain this you might have to grab a periodic table.
Do you have one? Good. Look at the most left side of the periodic table. The first group is the largest atoms in the periodic table. If you go to the right of the periodic table, the atoms get progressively smaller and smaller.
Why is this? Don't atoms get more electrons, and so become significantly bigger as they move to the right?
Although atoms do get more electrons as they go to the right, they also get more protons too. Protons pull on electrons and make atoms smaller. Because of this, going from left to right in a periodic table makes the atoms smaller and smaller, since more and more protons are added.
In this scenario, Aluminum is more to the right than Sodium, which means that it has more protons. Because of this, the protons in Aluminum pull more strongly on electrons than sodium, thus making aluminum smaller.
(Just a side note, going down in a periodic table makes the atoms bigger, since new shells are added every time)
Good luck! If you need any help, just ask :))
