copper sulfate
hi guys,
I'm intrested in the production of lead acetate. I started to caclculate the amount and the synthesis I will use and I stucked with an idiotic
problam - In the synthesis I need to use copper sulfate and I got garden frade blue cupper sulfate.
should I calculate it as Mw = 159.61 gr/mol like in CuSO4 or should I take it as Mw = 249.71 gr/mol like in CuSO4*5H2O?
And if I already posting new topic, Is lead acetate only carcinogen or it also very toxic? toxic enogh that I can die only from touching it with bare
skin for instant.

Please, there are already several threads dealing with this (PbO2, PbO threads). Post there.
To answer your question, you use the *5H2O version, as the blue colour indicates it is hydrated.
Lead acetate is toxid but not that deadly, in my sillier young days I touched it many times and never had a problem. I am still sane. 
Anyway. Continue posting in the proper thread.
Closed.
