Each copper(II) sulfate unit is associated with five water molecules in crystalline copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O). When this compound is heated in air above 100°C, it loses the water molecules and its blue color: CuSO4·5H2O → CuSO4 + 5H2O (blue compound). If 11.67 g of CuSO4 remain after heating 18.24 g of the blue compound, calculate the number of moles of H2O originally present in the compound. ________ moles of water.
