Answer:

Convert mass of CuSO4•5H2O to moles using molar mass of CuSO4•5H2O.

Convert moles of CuSO4•5H2O to moles of CuSO4 using a mole ratio.

Convert moles of CuSO4 to mass of CuSO4 using molar mass of CuSO

Explanation:

A chemist should set up his or her stoichiometric calculation to predict the mass of CuSO₄ that forms when a specified mass of CuSO₄•5H₂O is heated by converting mass to moles & moles to mass.

What is stoichiometry?

Stoichiometry of any reaction tells about the amount of substabce present in any reaction before and after the completion of the reaction.

Given chemical reaction is:
CuSO₄•5H₂O → CuSO₄ + 5H₂O:

Following steps will take up by chemist to calculate the stoichiometry:

  • First we convert the mass of CuSO₄•5H₂O to moles by diving the given mass by molar mass.
  • Then calculate the mole ration of reactant and products which are involved in the reaction.
  • After getting the moles of CuSO₄ from CuSO₄•5H₂O again we convert the moles to mass by multiplying the moles with molar mass of CuSO₄.

Hence above procedure will follow by the chemist.
