What is the experimental and theoretical mole?

Posted on 2014-11-18 07:05:00 in Chemistry by MIKE

"4. Determine the experimental moles of anhydrous CuSO4 and water produced. This is done by dividing the experimental mass of CuSO4 placed in the crucible by 159.5g/mole. The experimental moles of water are calculated by dividing the mass of water produced by the molar mass of water."

"5. Determine the percent error of water produced in your hydrate. This is determined by subtracting the experimental number of moles in CuSO4.5H2O from the theoretical moles of water produced in the experimental ratio of CuSO4 to H2O. Divide the absolute value of the difference between the experimental moles and the theoretical moles by the theoretical moles of CuSO4 to get the percent error."

I need to know how to solve this for a report.
