Best Answer

The gram formula unit mass of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate is 249.68. The gram formula unit mass of water is 18.015. Therefore, the mass of water of crystallization present in 50.0 g of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate is:

50[5(18.015)/249.68] or 18.0 g, to the justified number of significant digits. (Note that the prefix penta- means five)
