If you’re looking for how many grams of copper there are per gram of copper sulfate pentahydrate…
The formula for copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate is CuSO4 * 5H2O.
What we know from this is that for every mole of CuSO4 * 5H2O, we have 1 mole of copper. So to find out how many grams of copper we have for every mole of CuSO4 * 5H2O, we can just use the molar mass of copper (63.546 g/mol).
However, we want grams of copper for every gram of the CuSO4 * 5H2O. Every mole of CuSO4 * 5H2O weighs 249.681 grams, so we can find our final result of 0.25451 grams of copper for every gram of CuSO4 * 5H2O (which I got from 63.546/249.681).
