1. To prepare a solution, weigh out 1.25g of CuSO4●5h2O(s) on an electronic balance and transfer it to a 50mL beaker. 2. Stir the solution in the beaker until the particles have dissolved, then transfer it using a funnel and stirring rod to a volumetric flask. 3. Fill the volumetric flask to the meniscus line using a funnel, repeating the process 3 times to transfer the full solution.
