DETERMINATION OF THE CHEMICAL FORMULA FOR A HYDRATE USING MOLE RATIO OF WATER MASS AND MAGNESIUM SULPHATE INTRODUCTION Ionic (salt) compounds are able to hold loose bonds with water molecules. A hydrate is a compound that incorporates water molecules into its crystalline lattice structure (McGraw-Hill Ryerson‚ 2014). Identifying a compound as hydrated or anhydrous is important as the mass of the compound increases if it contains water molecules. In nature‚ hydrates exist with a fixed ratio of

In order to find the formula of the copper chloride hydrate‚ we had to separate the compound to find the mass of water and copper. To begin this process‚ we evaporated the water and created an anhydrous compound‚ meaning we were left with only CuxCly. By calculating the weight of both the anhydrous and the hydrated compounds‚ we could conclude that the difference in the weights was the weight of the H2O. From this we were able to calculate the percent composition of CuxCly and H2O (see Calculations:

Formula of a Hydrate Lab Wednesday October 29‚ 2014 Chemistry Honors Purpose This lab was done to determine the percentage of water in a hydrate‚ which was CuSO4 ?H20. Not only the percentage of water can be found‚ the moles of water can be found per one mole of anhydrous salt. An anhydrous salt is a hydrate that lost its water. Using various lab equipment such as burners‚ crucible‚ and balance‚ and techniques such as the mass-to-mole ratio and mass to percentage‚ the percentage of water in a hydrate

Title: Formula of a Hydrate. Objective: Determining the percentage of water and the chemical formula of a hydrate. Background: Water has a polar structure and it has positively and negatively charged parts within each molecule. This gives it a strong attraction toward ions. The ions in some salts attract and form strong bonds with water molecules. These salts‚ when they have absorbed water‚ are called hydrates. Anhydrous salts are salts that can form hydrates but which have had all the water

What is the Identity of this Hydrate? Date Performed: May 30‚ 12 Date Submitted: June 6‚ 2012 Name: 2968 Instructor: Reid A hydrate was given to our group and the identity of the hydrate was unknown. The lab workers were told to determine the identity of the unknown hydrate. The identity of the hydrate could be determined by calculating the hydrate’s percent of water. So the lab workers set out to determine the water percent of the unknown hydrate. The percent of any compound or element

Every step in this experiment has reasons behind its application. One determines the masses of the crucible and barium chloride hydrate for obvious data collection and calculation purposed. The heating of the sample slowly for 10 minutes is done to remove the water from the sample. A constant mass for the sample must be obtained so therefore it must be done slowly because if not you may loose mass from the sample. At the point where the crystalline solid changes to a powdery solid the sample must

The purpose of the lab is to identify the compound based on a constant composition by performing a serious of tests. The hydrate is solid crystals compound and appears to be dry: since an ionic compound (salt) is crystallized from an aqueous solution (water)‚ by heating the hydrate the water is released from ionic structure; therefore it is possible to measure the weight of the ionic compound and calculate its ratio to the liquid in the hydrate. The goal of the lab is to establish the identity

Introduction: An empirical formula of a chemical compound is the ratio of atoms in simplest wholenumber terms of each present element in the compound. For example‚ Glucose is C H O ; it’s empirical formula is CH O. 6 12 6 2 A hydrate is a compound that is chemically combined with water molecules. In contrast‚ an anhydrate does not contain water‚ and has had all of its water removed. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to identify the unknown hydrate‚ selected by your teacher
