NASA Ames Research Center. Using data collected by NASA's SOFIA Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy and other observatories, an international team of researchers has studied how a particular type of organic molecules, the raw materials for life â could develop in space.
Copper(II) sulfate. Copper(II) sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate, copper sulfate, blue vitriol, or bluestone, is a chemical compound. Its chemical formula is CuSO4. It contains copper in its +2 oxidation state. It also contains sulfate ions. It is a blue solid that can kill fungi.
The gram formula unit mass of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate is 249.68. The gram formula unit mass of water is 18.015. Therefore, the mass of water of crystallization presen â¦ t in 50.0 g of copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate is: 50[5(18.015)/249.68] or 18.0 g, to the justified number of significant digits. (Note that the prefix penta- means five)
