How many grams of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO 4 ​ ⋅5H 2 ​ O) are needed to prepare 100.00 milliliters of a 0.11M copper(II) sulfate solution?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.75 grams

Explanation:

First, we can find out how many moles of copper (II) sulfate are needed by multiplying the molarity by the volume of solution.

1 L = 1000 mL

⇒ 100 mL = 0.1 L

↓↓↓

(0.11 mol / L)(0.1 L) = 0.011 mol

Next, we can multiply this by the molar mass of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate:

molar mass = (63.546 + 32.066 + 4(15.999)) + 5(2(1.008) + 15.999) g/mol

molar mass = 249.683 g/mol

↓↓↓

(0.011 mol)(249.683 g/mol) = 2.75 g

So, approximately 2.75 grams of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate are needed to prepare 100 milliliters of a 0.11M copper (II) sulfate solution.
