Copper(II) oxide reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to produce either anhydrous or hydrated salts. The type of salt depends on the procedure. Table 1 shows 5 experiments with different masses of anhydrous copper(II) salt formed by reacting varying masses of copper(II) oxide with 50 cm³ of 1 mol dm⁻³ sulphuric acid. A reading for Experiment 3 is missing from Table 1.

Given that the relative formula mass of copper(II) oxide is 80, complete the data in Table 1 by calculating the mass of the salt formed in Experiment 3. (Relative Atomic Mass: Cu = 64; S = 32; O = 16; H = 1) Show your working.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
