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:

Lab of Determining an Empirical Formula B2 Honors 12/18/13 Abstract In this lab‚ to help better understand the concepts of gram atomic masses and empirical formulas‚ we found the gram atomic masses and empirical formula of a binary compound. The two compounds should form a definite whole number ratio by mass. This ratio will also help determine the subscripts of the elements in the empirical formula. Errors in this experiment can stem from measuring wrong or doing equations incorrectly.

Lillian Zhang AP Chemistry 3rd Period Formula of an Unknown Hydrate The purpose of the Formula of an Unknown Hydrate lab is to determine the weight percentage of H2O hydrated to an unknown salt and the empirical formula for the hydrated salt. To do this‚ a massed amount of the hydrate is heated over either a hot plate or Bunsen burner. This causes the water to be removed‚ leaving the anhydrous salt behind in the dish. The mass of the anhydrous salt‚ now with the absence of water‚ is less than

this first lab we attempted to discover which of the materials given to us were hydrates by heating them and then dissolving them in water. Our results showed that all of our substances were hydrates besides the sucrose‚ sucrose if the only one which did not both bring condensation when heated and dissolve in water‚ which agreed with our hypothesis because we also thought that sucrose was going to be the only one that wasn’t a hydrate. The only error that we may have encountered in this lab was that

structure is derived. Firstly it is important to determine the percentage composition of elements to work out the empirical formula. The empirical formula was found to be C10H12O and the mass of the unknown was 148.09 m/z which when calculating the molecular weight of the empirical formula it did equal 148.09 g mol -1. This means that the empirical formula is also the molecular formula. As 12.01x10 carbons +1.008x12 hydrogens + 16= 148.09 09 g mol -1. From this knowledge the unknown molecule must include

This was conducted by heating the alum till the water had evaporated and then determining the number of moles for each component. Then using the these amounts to figure out the empirical formula for alum. Results: In order to determine how much of each separate component a total mass was taken before hand for
