Mole concept - PLS help

Q- (100gm of CuSO4 . 5 H2O is dissolved in 500 g of water to form aq solution. find molarity & molality of Cu2+ if density of solution is 1.2 g/ml [Cu=64] [S=96]) isme sir ne bola water of crystallisation ka bhi mass lena hoga molality find krne ke liye or usme unhone water of crystallisation ke 2.5 mole liye , ye smajh nhi aaya

using the mole of h20 in water of crystallisation and the moles in the the voulme of water throught tht cal the molality of it

160 g/mol is the molar mass of copper sulphate, with 5 mol water it would be +90 g. does that help? out of the 100 g, 100/250 * 90 is the mass of water ie 36 g molality is just moles of Cu2+ / mass, i.e. 0.4/0.536 do you have the pic of the question?

ohh ok since here moles of cuso4. 5h20 is .5 thts why h20 is 2.5 moles

i was doing the same but then the teacher tok 0.5 mole for the calculation and did 0.5 x 5x18 for the total mass and i got confused as the no. of moles were 0.4 as we calculated it beforehand , it made me very confused that how it went from 0.4 to 0.5 out of nowhere , and cant seem to find the mistake if its on his part or lack of my understanding 0.4 moles nhi hone chaiye? 100/250 = 0.4 hoga and 0.4 * 90 gives us mass of water or am i wrong here?

i think the soln here is wrong wait a sec since when is S molar mass 96 its 32 im getting molarity as 0.8 and molality as 0.748

yea woh sulphate ka likha hoga

i got 0.746 as molality is that much acceptable ? +solved @iTeachChem @Sephrina
