-43. A sample of hydrated copper sulfate, CuSO4.xH2O (where x represents an unknown

amount of water), is blue, however, the anhydrous form (CuSO4) is white. A 28.7g
sample of hydrated copper sulfate was heated and found to weigh 17.45g after being
fully dehydrated by heating.
(a)

Calculate the percentage by mass of water in the original hydrated sample.

(1 mark)
Percentage of water = 28.7 17.45
28.7

(b)

5.14%

Find the number of moles of water and CuSO4 in the hydrated sample.
(2 marks)
Moles CuSO4 = 17.45/139.5 = 0.125 mol
Moles water = 11.25/18 = 0.625 mol

(c)

From your answers in (b) find the value of x in the hydrated sample and
thus determine its empirical formula.
(2 marks)
Ratio: 0.625/0.125 = 5 : 1
Hence: CuSO4.5H2O

4. One mole of a substance with the empirical formula CH2O is found to have a mass of
60g. Determine the substances molecular formula.
1 mole CH2O weighs 30g
Sample weighs 60g, hence molecular formula is C2H4O2
(2 marks)
5. The overall reaction for the production of Aluminium is:
3C(s) + 2Al2O3(l) 4Al(l) + 3CO2(g)
Calculate the mass of Aluminium produced from the reaction of 1.50 tonnes of
carbon and 2.50 tonnes of 2Al2O3.
Moles C = 3500/12.01 = 124.9 mol, requires 83.26 mol Al2O3
Moles Al2O3 = 10500/101.96 = 102.98 mol, requires 154.4 mol C
Limiting reagent is C
Moles of Al produced = 4/3(124.9) = 166.5 mol
Mass Al = 166.5 x 26.98 = 4493g = 4.49 tonnes.
TOTAL:

(4 marks)
35 marks.
