Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry - Result Question 36

####36. The weight of $1 \times 10^{22}$ molecules of $CuSO _4 \cdot 5 H _2 O$ is (1991, 1M)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Molar mass of $CuSO _4 \cdot 5 H _2 O$

$$ \begin{aligned} & =63.5+32+4 \times 16+5 \times 18 \ & =249.5 g \end{aligned} $$

Also, molar mass represents mass of Avogadro number of molecules in gram unit, therefore

$\because 6.023 \times 10^{23}$ molecules of $CuSO _4 \cdot 5 H _2 O$ weigh $249.5 g$

$\therefore 10^{22}$ molecules will weigh $\frac{249.5}{6.023 \times 10^{23}} \times 10^{22}=4.14 g$
