Question 5

This question is about reversible reactions.

When 12.50 g12.50\text{ g}12.50 g of hydrated copper(II) sulfate changes into anhydrous copper(II) sulfate:

  • 8.00 g8.00\text{ g}8.00 g of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate is produced
  • 4.10 kJ4.10\text{ kJ}4.10 kJ of energy is taken in from the surroundings

The equation for the reversible reaction is:

hydrated copper(II) sulfate⇌anhydrous copper(II) sulfate+water \text{hydrated copper(II) sulfate} \rightleftharpoons \text{anhydrous copper(II) sulfate} + \text{water} hydrated copper(II) sulfate⇌anhydrous copper(II) sulfate+water
a.

Calculate the maximum mass of water that can be produced from 37.50 g37.50\text{ g}37.50 g of hydrated copper(II) sulfate.

b.

13.20 g13.20\text{ g}13.20 g of anhydrous copper(II) sulfate completely changes into hydrated copper(II) sulfate when water is added. Calculate the amount of energy transferred to the surroundings. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
