input: Which of the following substances are consistent with the description: 'A blue, crystalline, water-soluble solid that is hygroscopic in its anhydrous form'?
Options:
A. Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O)
B. Sodium chloride (NaCl)
C. Cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate (CoCl2·6H2O)
D. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4)
E. None of the above
output: answer: A, C

modality: image
input: It is known that the target substance is one of the correct options from the previous question and satisfies the additional condition: 'This substance is commonly stored in a tightly sealed container to prevent it from absorbing moisture from the air and losing its crystalline water, which would alter its color and properties.' Please generate an image showing this target substance stored correctly in its appropriate container and placed on a laboratory bench.
output: evaluation_points: 1. The container generated in the image is correct: a tightly sealed, wide-mouth glass reagent bottle or a desiccator.

The substance generated is indeed Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4·5H2O), with its color and appearance (bright blue, translucent crystals) matching the description 'blue, crystalline solid' from Turn 1.

3. The substance is correctly contained within the sealed bottle, with an appropriate amount (e.g., filling about half to two-thirds of the container) to allow for safe handling and to minimize air exposure.

4. The background is a simple laboratory bench scene.

input: We will refer to the substance you identified earlier as the 'target substance'. Now, there are two test tubes placed side-by-side. The left test tube contains an appropriate amount of Acid A = dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl, approx. 1 M), and the right test tube contains an appropriate amount of Acid B = concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4, approx. 18 M). An identical sample of the target substance in solid form is simultaneously added to both tubes. Please generate an image showing the phenomena in both test tubes at the same moment during the reaction. The background is a simple laboratory bench.
output: evaluation_points: 1. The image accurately depicts two test tubes, placed side-by-side (left and right), with a safe and reasonable volume of liquid in each.

2. The solution colors match the setting: 'The left tube contains a colorless dilute hydrochloric acid solution. The right tube contains a colorless concentrated sulfuric acid solution.'

The solution colors match the setting: 'The left tube contains a colorless dilute hydrochloric acid solution. The right tube contains a colorless concentrated sulfuric acid solution.' as described in Turn 3 input.

The phenomenon in the left tube matches the setting: 'The blue crystals of the target substance dissolve in dilute hydrochloric acid, forming a clear, blue solution (due to [Cu(H2O)6]2+ ions), with no gas evolution or significant heat change.' as described in Turn 3 input.

The phenomenon in the right tube matches the setting: 'Upon contact with concentrated sulfuric acid, the blue crystals of the target substance undergo dehydration. The crystals lose their water of crystallization, turning into a white, powdery anhydrous copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4), possibly with localized heating or slight fuming due to the concentrated acid's dehydrating property.' as described in Turn 3 input.

input: Based on the difference in phenomena observed in the two test tubes in the input image, what is the most likely fundamental reason for this difference?
Options:
A. The difference in acid concentration leads to different reaction rates.
B. Concentrated sulfuric acid acts as a strong oxidizing agent, while dilute hydrochloric acid does not.
C. Concentrated sulfuric acid has a strong dehydrating property, removing water of crystallization, while dilute hydrochloric acid primarily acts as a proton donor for dissolution.
D. The target substance forms a passivation layer with one acid but not the other.
E. None of the above.
output: answer: C
