Calculate or find the formula weights for cupric sulfate and cupric sulfateHomework Statement:What is the mass of CuSO4 if the mass of CuSO4.H2O is 61 grams

"Penta-hydrate," I'm unaware of the existence of either mono-, or tetra-hydrates. Did not point that fact out, since it provides/exemplifies additional instructional/nomenclatural/pedagogical opportunities for the OP. The significance of small whole numbers/fractions in discussing "hydrates" is important.Calculate or find the formula weights for cupric sulfate and cupric sulfate tetra-hydrate. You can find the fraction of cupric sulfate in the hydrated compound.
They do exist, which is why the question as posted looked OK to me. There is no tetrahydrate, it is not clear to me what is the status of dihydrate (I thought it does exist, quick googling suggest it doesn't)."Penta-hydrate," I'm unaware of the existence of either mono-, or tetra-hydrates.
