Question

Anhydrous copper sulphate (Cuso,) was dissolve in one beaker and hydrated copper sulphate
(cuso4.5h2o)was dissolve in another beaker What heat change do you expect in these beaker and why?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

More heat is released as anhydrous $CuSO_{4}$ is dissolved in water than when $CuSO_{4}$×5$H_{2} O$ is dissolved in water. You might say that the heat has already been released in the case of the hydrated copper sulfate.

Anhydrous copper sulfate beaker --- a thermometer will indicate a temperature increase

Hydrated copper sulfate beaker --- a thermometer will indicate little, if any, temperature increase.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hydrated copper sulfate has 5 molecules of water of crystallization and when it is heated it loses these water molecules become anhydrous and from blue color to colorless form.
