Frequently Asked Questions
What is the molar mass of Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate?
The molar mass of Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O) is 249.677 g/mol. That is the sum of the standard atomic weights of all 21 atoms in one formula unit: 9 × 15.999 + 1 × 63.546 + 1 × 32.060 + 10 × 1.008 = 249.677.
What is the molecular weight of Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate?
249.677 — the same number as the molar mass, but as a dimensionless ratio rather than in g/mol. The two terms describe the same arithmetic, so a molecular weight of 249.68 and a molar mass of 249.68 g/mol are the same answer.
How many moles are in 100 g of Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate?
100 ÷ 249.677 = 0.4005 mol. To convert any mass to moles, divide by the molar mass; to go the other way, multiply.
What is the percent composition of Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate?
By mass, Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is 57.67% oxygen, 25.45% copper, 12.84% sulfur, 4.04% hydrogen. Each element's share is its total mass in the formula divided by 249.677.
How many atoms are in one formula unit of Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate?
21: 9 oxygen, 1 copper, 1 sulfur, 10 hydrogen. One mole contains 6.02214076 × 10²³ formula units, so a mole of Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate contains 21 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms in total.
