Marking note for 16: Award marks independently for each part. If (a) is wrong but (b) uses the wrong value correctly with the ratio, award follow-through marks for (b) and (c).

n(H₂O) = 0.05 × 5 = 0.25 mol

(d) 8.0 g [2]

Working:

n(CuSO₄) = n(CuSO₄·5H₂O) = 0.05 mol (1:1 ratio)
Mᵣ(CuSO₄) = 160
mass = 0.05 × 160 = 8.0 g
