It will probably absorb water out of the air since it is hydrophilic. This will affect its molar mass.

What will happen if sulphuric acid left uncovered in the air?

If sulphuric acid is left uncovered in the air, it can absorb moisture from the atmosphere and create a mist of sulphuric acid droplets. This can lead to an increase in corrosive fumes, posing a risk to nearby materials and potentially causing environmental harm. It is important to handle and store sulphuric acid properly to prevent these potential hazards.


What is left after evaporating copper sulfate?

After evaporating copper sulfate, you are left with solid copper sulfate crystals. These crystals can be collected and then used for further experiments or applications, such as in the preparation of other copper compounds or as a drying agent.


Why is it wrong to leave a bottle of anhydrous sodium sulfate or calcium chloride open?

The hydrated forms of these compounds are lower energy thermodynamically than the anhydrous forms. It takes heat energy to drive the water out of these salts to make them anhydrous. If left in the open, the anhydrous forms will take up water from the atmosphere and re-hydrate themselves. This process releases heat energy, so it "runs downhill" energy-wise.


What happens to copper sulphate when left in a dish?

When left in a dish, copper sulfate may slowly dry out and form solid crystals as the water evaporates. Over time, the color of the crystals may darken as the copper sulfate undergoes oxidation.


Why do crystals form on paper clips?

Crystals form on paper clips when they are left in a solution that has particles that can solidify and adhere to the metal surface of the paper clip. As the solution evaporates, the particles accumulate and form crystal structures on the paper clip.
