When hydrated copper(II) sulfate is heated, the forward reaction takes in 78 kJ of energy for each mole of hydrated copper(II) sulfate that reacts.
hydrated copper(II) sulfate ⇌ \rightleftharpoons\,⇌ anhydrous copper(II) sulfate + water
Name the type of energy change in the forward reaction.
State the type of energy change in the reverse reaction and give the amount of energy transferred.
A student adds a few drops of water to anhydrous copper(II) sulfate in a test tube. Describe what the student would feel and see.
