there are 159.6g of cupric sulfate and 90.1g of waters63.5gCu+32.1gS+(16.0*4)gO=159.6gCuSO4 5(1.01*2)gH+5(16.0)gO=90.1g5H20
therefore, the gram formula mass is 249.7g
the percent composition of water is 36.1%((90.1g)/(249.7g))*100%
p.s.-my basic math skills suck so you may want to take the given values and crank them through the equation to check
Your math is correct. I ran the problem myself and got the same answer. We even did this as a lab in Chemistry class and I got near the same answer (35% in an unregulated test).

∙ 9y agoCuSO4 x5H20 is the molecular formula for cupric sulfate pentahydrate. Its molecular weight of 247.9 grams per mole. Also, the molecular weight of water is 18.02 grams per mole. The molecule is a pentahydrate, meaning it has 6 waters. This means 108.1 grams of each cupric sulfate pentahydrate is composed of water. 90.1 grams of water divided by the total mass of 249.7 equals .36. The answer then is 36% water.

Does combustion reactions form precipitates?
a combustion reaction does not produce a precipitate an example is 2C4H10 + 13O2 -> 8CO2 + 10H2O
How many moles of water are in 1 mole of Na2CO3.10H2O that has been stored?
10H2O = 10 H2O so there will be 10 moles of water
Ionic compound formula sodium carbonate decahydrate?
Na2CO3-10H2O
What kind of compound is Na2CO3 x 10H2O?
Technically it is a mixture called a hydrate. This particular one is sodium carbonate decahydrate.
Why only 10H2O in sodium carbonate deca hydrate?
Sodium carbonate decahydrate is the name of the compound Na2CO3·10H2O, because 'deca' means 'ten'.The term hydrated sodium carbonate is commonly used to encompass the monohydrate (Na2CO3·H2O), the decahydrate and the heptahydrate (Na2CO3·7H2O).Both the hepta- and the decahydrate are partially transformed into the monohydrate thermonatrite Na2CO3·H2O when left over in dry air.Anhydrous (no H2O) sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is formed when heating Na2CO3·H2O or NaHCO3 or Na3H(CO3)2·2H2O (trona) up to 150o-200oC (this is called calcination).
What is the molecular mass of washing soda?
