Cupric ammonium sulphate was found to contain
27.03%27.03\% water of crystallization by mass. Upon
strongly heating, it gave cupric oxide corresponding
to 19.89%19.89\% of starting mass. Find the empirical
formula of cupric ammonium sulphate. (Cu=63.5)(\text{Cu} = 63.5)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
CuSO4⋅(NH4)2SO4⋅6H2O\mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \cdot 6 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}
Option A is correct because the empirical formula is determined by calculating the moles of each component and finding the simplest whole number ratio, which corresponds to CuSO₄⋅(NH₄)₂SO₄⋅6H₂O.
