  • Calculating the Mass of Copper Sulfate: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate the weight of 3.36 x 10^23 molecules of copper sulfate (CuSO4):

    1. Calculate the molar mass of CuSO4:

    * Cu: 63.55 g/mol

    * S: 32.06 g/mol

    * O: 16.00 g/mol (x 4)

    * Total molar mass: 63.55 + 32.06 + (16.00 x 4) = 159.61 g/mol

    2. Use Avogadro's number to convert molecules to moles:

    * Avogadro's number: 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol

    * Moles of CuSO4: (3.36 x 10^23 molecules) / (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol) = 0.558 moles

    3. Calculate the mass in grams:

    * Mass (g) = moles x molar mass

    * Mass = 0.558 mol x 159.61 g/mol = 89.0 g

    Therefore, 3.36 x 10^23 molecules of copper sulfate (CuSO4) weigh approximately 89.0 grams.
