A chemist adds 1000mL of a 041M copperII sulfate CuSO4 solut
A chemist adds 100.0mL of a 0.41M copper(II) sulfate CuSO4 solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of copper(II) sulfate the chemist has added to the flask. Round your answer to
2 significant digits.
final answer in grams
Solution
volume , V = 100.0 mL
= 0.1 L
we have below equation to be used:
number of mol,
n = Molarity * Volume
= 0.41*0.1
= 4.1*10^-2 mol
Molar mass of CuSO4 = 1*MM(Cu) + 1*MM(S) + 4*MM(O)
= 1*63.55 + 1*32.07 + 4*16.0
= 159.62 g/mol
we have below equation to be used:
mass of CuSO4,
m = number of mol * molar mass
= 4.1*10^-2 mol * 159.62 g/mol
= 6.544 g
Answer: 6.5 g
