I'm pretty sure it's B) Mass
Answer:
a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as distinct from a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction.
Or
Chemical reaction, a process in which one or more substances, the reactants, are converted to one or more different substances, the products. ... A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products.
Answer:
5
Explanation:
Firstly, we convert what we have to percentage compositions.
There are two parts in the molecule, the sulphate part and the water part.
The percentage compositions is as follows:
Sulphate- (103.74)/(103.74 + 58.55) × 100% = apprx 64%
The water part = 100 - 64 = 36%
Now, we divide the percentages by the molar masses.
For the CuSO4 molar mass is 64 + 32 + 4(16) = 160g/mol
For the H2O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol
Now we divide the percentages by these masses
Sulphate = 64/160 = 0.4
Water = 36/18 = 2
The ratio is thus 0.4:2 = 1:5
Hence, there are 5 water molecules.
