Part I. Preparation of the Reactants and the Reaction Obtain a clean, dry 50-mL or 100-mL beaker and weigh it to the correct number of significant figures on a weighing balance. Record this mass on the report form. Using a clean spatula, transfer 5.0 g of the solid copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate crystals into the dry, clean beaker and record the mass of the beaker and hydrate to the correct significant figures. Using subtraction or mass by difference, find the mass of the hydrate. The mass of the hydrate should be 5.0 ± 0.1 g. Determine the mass of a weighing paper or boat to the correct number of significant figures using a balance. Record this mass on the report form. Using a clean spatula, transfer 1.0 g of the solid zinc powder into the weighing paper or boat, and record the mass of the weighing paper or boat and zinc powder to the correct significant figures. Using subtraction or mass by difference, find the mass of the zinc powder. The mass of the zinc powder should be 1.0 ± 0.1 g. Using a clean, dry 50-mL graduated cylinder, transfer 25 mL of deionized water into the beaker containing the solid
