The mineral bonattite is known to be copper sulfate hydrate. 2.000 grams was heated to release the water to form the anhydrate. The sample lost 0.506 g of mass. After reacting with aluminum wire, 0.595 g of copper was recovered. How many moles of water, copper, and sulfate were in the compound? What is the mole ratio of these 3 components? What is the formula of bonattite?

The use of molar masses and moles is on point but the lack of clarity in the explanation can make it hard to grasp the concept fully
