2. A sample of hydrated copper sulfate, CuSO4+nH20, is heated in a crucible to drive off all of the water. The following data was found:
Mass of crucible - 24.32 g
Mass of crucible and hydrate - 26.75 g
Mass of crucible after final heating-
25.88 g

What is the value of n in the hydrate's formula?

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
