Where does the mass go?

calculate

Try it yourself

A pupil heats 4.00 g of blue copper(II) sulfate crystals to constant mass, and 2.56 g of white solid is left. Use the same ratio to calculate the mass of white solid left by (a) 1.00 g of crystals and (b) 6.00 g of crystals.

calculate: work out the answer from the data.

Give each answer with its unit

Type numbers like 0.25 or 2.5x10^-3. Put the unit in its own box, for example g, cm3 or m/s. Leave the unit box empty if the quantity has no unit.

(a) White solid from 1.00 g
(b) White solid from 6.00 g

Scope and sources

Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry 0620 · 2026–2028 v2 · Original learning materials.

Relative masses (3.2 Core 1–3): relative atomic mass as the average mass of the isotopes of an element compared to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12, relative molecular mass and relative formula mass as the sum of the relative atomic masses, and reacting masses in simple proportions, without the mole. The mole and molar mass, calculating relative atomic mass from isotope abundances, percentage yield and purity are left to other modules.

Apparatus, amounts and times in the experiment are illustrative. Real practical work follows a teacher-approved safety method.
