Answer: The moles needed are 0.01.

Step-by-step explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.


Molarity=(n* 1000)/(V_s)

where,

n = moles of solute
(CuSO_4.5H_2O) = ?


V_s = volume of solution in ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get


0.10=(n* 1000)/(100)


n=(0.10* 100)/(1000)=0.01

Therefore, the moles needed are 0.01.
