Why are reactions of ionic compounds very fast?

Astudent is given a sample of a blue copper sulfate hydrate. he weighs the sample in a dry covered porcelain crucible and got a mass of 23.875 g for the crucible, lid, and sample. the mass of the empty crucible and lid was found earlier to be 22.652 g. he then heats the crucible to expel the water of hydration, keeping the crucible at red heat for 10 minutes with the lid slightly ajar. on colling, he finds the mass of crucible, lid, and contents to be 23.403 g. the sample was changed in the process to very light clue anhydrous cuso4. if there are again 100.0 g of hydrate, how many grams of cuso4 are in it? how many moles of cuso4? (hint: molar mass of cuso4 = 159.6 g / mole. what per cent of the hydrate is cuso4? you may convert the mass of cuso4 to moles.)

If you chip a tooth, most likely you will go to the dentist to have the missing material filled in. currently the material used to fill in teeth is a polymer that is flexible when put in, yet is hardened to the strength of a tooth after irradiation with blue light at a wavelength of 461 nm. what is the energy in joules for a photon of light at this wavelength?

Which of the following isotopes has the same number of neutrons as phosphorus-31?
