molecular weight of CuSO4•5H2O
What is the molecular weight of CuSO4•5H2O?
Molecular Weight- It is also known as molecular mass. It is defined as the average mass of a molecule of a compound compared to the 1/12th of the carbon atom and calculated as the sum of the atomic weights of the constituent atoms.
For example- The molecular formula of Water is H2
The atomic weight of Hydrogen(H)= 1.01
The atomic weight of Oxygen= 16
Water is made up of two atoms of Hydrogen and One atom of oxygen so its molecular weight is 18.02
The atomic weight of Copper(Cu)= 63.55
The atomic weight of Sulphur(S) = 32.07
The atomic weight of Oxygen(O)= 16
The atomic weight of Hydrogen(H)= 1.01
The molecular weight of CuSO4.5H2O
= 63.55+ 32.07+ 4*16+ 5( 1.01*2 + 16 )
=159.62 + 5(18.02)
=249.72 g/mole
