Question

experiment 1: write the balanced chemical reaction that occurs in this experiment for the removal of the waters of hydration from the copper(ii) sulfate hydrate.

balanced chemical equation:

Explanation:

Identify the reactant formula

Using the Hydrate Formulas knowledge point

$$ \text{Reactant: } \text{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5\text{H}_2\text{O} \, (\text{s}) $$

Identify the products of dehydration

Using the Dehydration Reaction and Anhydrous Salts knowledge points

$$ \text{Products: } \text{CuSO}_4 \, (\text{s}) + 5\text{H}_2\text{O} \, (\text{g}) $$

Balance the chemical equation

Using the Chemical Equation Balancing knowledge point

$$ \text{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5\text{H}_2\text{O} \, (\text{s}) ightarrow \text{CuSO}_4 \, (\text{s}) + 5\text{H}_2\text{O} \, (\text{g}) $$
