According to Avogadro's law, 1 mole ,i.e., 6.2 * 10^23 particles of every substance have mass equal to its molecular mass in grams. Since the molecular mass of CuSO4 is 80 grams. It means 6.2 * 10^23 particles of CuSO4 have a mass of 80 grams. Now u can calculate the mass of 3.36 * 10^23 particles by unitary method 3.36 * 10^23 *80/6.23 * 10^23 grams

Answer:

The weight in grams of
3.36*10^(23) molecules of copper sulfate is 89.023 g.

Explanation:

Given : Molecules of copper sulfate
3.36*10^(23)

To find : What is the weight in grams of
3.36*10^(23) molecules of copper sulfate?

Solution :

Molar mass of copper sulfate (
CuSO_4)

Cu=63.5

S=32

O=16


CuSO_4=63.5+32+4*16= 159.5 g

We know, that 1 mole = Avogadro number

1 mole =
6.02* 10^(23) molecules


6.02*10^(23) molecule weigh = 159.5 g

1 molecule weigh =
(159.5)/(6.02*10^(23)) g

So,
3.36*10^(23) molecule weigh =
(159.5*3.36*10^23)/(6.02*10^(23)) g


=(159.5*3.36)/(6.02) g


=(535.92)/(6.02) g


=89.023 g

Therefore, The weight in grams of
3.36*10^(23) molecules of copper sulfate is 89.023 g.
