  • Mass of hydrated copper sulfate (g) =  (46.08 ± 0.01) – (43.78 ± 0.01) = 2.30 ± 0.02 (g)
  • Mass of water (g) = ( 46.08 ± 0.01) – (45.22 ± 0.01) = 0.86 ± 0.02 (g)
  • General reaction:                      hydrate     anhydrous salt  +            water

CuSO4.xH2O           CuSO4            +             xH2O
