Results
- Copper sulfate pentahydrate charge
- 20.20202 kg
- Acid stock mass
- 5.102041 kg
- Acid stock volume
- 2.772848 L
Formula
Charge kg = final volume L × target g/L / (1000 × purity fraction)
Assumptions & limits
- User-specified bath formulation, not a recommended recipe. Copper target is CuSO₄·5H₂O, not elemental copper.
- Make up to final volume after dissolution and cooling; do not sum stock volumes. Mixing acids is hazardous; follow approved procedures.
Worked example
For the example inputs: Copper sulfate pentahydrate charge = 20.20202 kg; Acid stock mass = 5.102041 kg; Acid stock volume = 2.772848 L.
Charge kg = final volume L × target g/L / (1000 × purity fraction)
