Quantitative preparation of a salt and yield calculation.

Introduction:
Copper(II) sulphate can easily be prepared by reacting copper(II) oxide with dilute sulphuric acid. The resulting copper(II) sulphate solution when cooled can easily crystallize, so the amount of the product can be accurately measured. This lab result can then be compared to the theoretical amount to give a % of the yield calculated. The then Copper(II) sulphate crystals are CuSO4.5H2O.
Hypothesis:
It is my opinion that the results we will receive from the experiments will differ by quite a bit off, by my estimate about 15-25% off the theoretical results one would get by doi…
