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:
The question is incomplete, here is a complete question.
An arctic weather balloon is filled with 27.8 L of helium gas inside a prep shed. The temperature inside the shed is 13 ⁰C. The balloon is then taken outside, where the temperature is -9 ⁰C. Calculate the new volume of the balloon. You may assume the pressure on the balloon stays constant at exactly 1 atm. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Answer : The new volume of the balloon is 25.7 L
Explanation :
Charles's Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.
or,
where,
= initial volume of gas = 27.8 L
= final volume of gas = ?
= initial temperature of gas = 
= final temperature of gas = 
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Therefore, the new volume of the balloon is 25.7 L
The sealed bottle would have the highest concentration of Carbon Dioxide because the pressure is highest and there was no time for diffusion.
