13. Each copper(II) sulfate unit is associate with five water molecules in crystalline copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO, •5H,0). When this compound is heated in air above 100°C, it loses the water molecules and also its blue color: Cuso, •5H,0 --> CuSO, + 5H,0 If 9.60 g of CusO, are left after heating 15.01 g of the blue compound, calculate the number of moles of H,0 originally present in the compound.

Question
13. Each copper(II) sulfate unit is associate with
five water molecules in crystalline copper(II)
sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO, •5H,0). When
this compound is heated in air above 100°C,
it loses the water molecules and also its blue
color:
Cuso, •5H,0 --> CuSO, + 5H,0
If 9.60 g of CuSO, are left after heating
15.01 g of the blue compound, calculate the
number of moles of H,0 originally present in
the compound.
