Question

Calculate the loss of mass upon heating to an anhydrous compound. CuSO4.5H2O

Answer 1

i mean is this a real world scenario or just like the theoretical max amount of mass loss if all of the H2O was removed?

Answer 2

There's not really enough information here to get the result for an experiment but you can still calculate the molar mass loss which will just be the molar mass of 5 water molecules.

Answer 3

yea was wondering if there was more information left out as this is a common lab done in some high schools
