Write the balanced equation for the hydration of CuSO4CuSO4. Indicate the physical states using the abbreviations (ss), (ll), or (gg) for solid, liquid, or gas, respectively. Use (aqaq) to indicate the aqueous phase. Indicate appropriate charges on negative and positive ions if they are formed.

CuSO4(s) + 5H2O(l) > CuSO4.5H2O(s)

Explanation:

Hydration is the process by which anhydrous CuSO4 acquires molecules of water of crystalization to form the pentahydrate.

The water of crystalization becomes attached go the crystals of the CuSO4 to form the hydrated salt.

Beginning with solid anhydrous CuSO4 we have;

CuSO4(s) + 5H2O(l) > CuSO4.5H2O(s)

he uptake of drugs from the intestine is often strongly influenced by diffusion. for example, consider a water-insoluble steroid for treating inflammation that is solubilized in aggregates of detergent molecules, called micelles. these micelles, aggregates of 80 soap molecules, have a molecular weight of 24,000, a diameter of 2.6 nm, and a charge of -27. the positively charge ions (counterions) in this system are na".
