Aim To Find the Number of Moles of Water of Crystallisation in Copper (II) Sulphate salt. Introduction Water of crystallisation is the term given to the molecules of water that are used to build up a crystal lattice in some ionic compounds.In copper II sulphate the blue crystals would be impossible without using water molecules to act as ’scaffolding’ within the structure CuSO4.5H2O. When this is heated the water molecules are driven off and the blue crystals become a white powder. As most

In Lacsap’s Fractions‚ when looking for a general pattern for the numerator‚ it can be noted that it does not increase linearly but exponentially. Numerators are 3‚6‚10‚ and 15‚ each preceding numerator added by one plus the row number. Using this general statement it can be concluded that the numerator in the 6th row is 21 (15+6)‚ and 28 for the 7th. Generating a Statement for the Numerator: To generate an equation for the numerator of the fraction‚ the fraction data must be organized and
