Question

Write the balanced equation for the hydration of CuSO4. Indicate the physical states using the abbreviations (s), (l), or (g) for solid, liquid, or gas, respectively. Use (aq) to indicate the aqueous phase. Indicate appropriate charges on negative and positive ions if they are formed. Express your answer as a complete chemical equation including all phases. Do not include water in your answer.

Answer 1

CuSO4(s)=>Cu^2+(aq)+SOsubscript 4 then ^2-(aq)

i hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:CuSO4 (s) + 5H20(l) ----> CuSO4.5H2O(s)

Explanation: starting with an anhydrous copper (ii) sulphate crystal, water is added to form a hydrate. Copper (ii) sulphate is mostly found in the pentahydrate form which means that five molecules of water is used to hydrate it. The resulting hydrate is still solid hence the state symbol (s).
