EXPERIMENT NUMBER 8 PERCENTAGE OF WATER IN A HYDRATE Objectives 1. To determine the percentage of water in barium chloride dihydrate. 2. To determine the percentage of water in an unknown hydrate salt. 3. To calculate the water of crystallization for the unknown hydrate salt. Discussion A hydrate salt is composed of anions (negative ions) and cations (positive ions) which are surrounded by and weakly bonded water molecules. Each hydrate salt has a fixed number of water molecules

FORMAL LAB REPORT INTRODUCTION John Dalton’s atomic theory states that elements combine in simple numerical ratios to form compounds. A compound‚ no matter how it is formed‚ always contains the same elements in the same proportion by weight. The law of mass conservation states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. In this experiment‚ the mass of the metal was not destroyed or created; the metal’s mass was simply changed into a compound form once the gas

The purpose of this lab was to study the composition of hydrates. Hydrates are ionic compounds that are chemical compositions made of water and salt. A main objective was to remove water from the hydrate by heating‚ and determine the amount of water that was in the hydrate. After doing this‚ one had to predict the empirical formula for hydrated copper sulfate. In doing this lab‚ one was able to see the gradual change in the composition of a hydrate into an anhydrous salt. The lab was carried out with

Hydrates Analysis NAME:_____________________________________ PERIOD:_________ Prelab 1. A 6.00g sample of calcium sulfate hydrate (CaSO4.x H2O) is heated until all the water is driven off. The anhydrous compound has a mass of 4.77 g. Calculate the value of x in the formula. 2. For the data in problem number 1 above‚ what is the mass percent water in the hydrate? 3. Calculate the number of grams of water that could be obtained by heating 2.00 g

Lab #6 Properties of Hydrates Purpose: The purpose of the “Properties of Hydrates” lab is to study hydrates‚ and be able to identify them. This lab also focuses on observing the reversibility of hydration reactions by hydrolysis‚ and also testing substances for efflorescence of deliquescence. Procedure: A. Identification 1. Place 0.5 grams of each compound (Nickel Chloride‚ Potassium Chloride‚ Sodium Tetraborate‚ Sucrose‚ Calcium Carbonate‚ and Barium Chloride) in a small dry test

Lab Report 1 Introduction: Proper chemical formulas entitle many challenges such as the Law of Multiple proportions that states that there may be more than one plausible mole ratio for the elements in that compound. However if we determine the mass of each element in the compound we will be able to get the true chemical formula. In this experiment‚ we used the law of definite proportions to find the chemical formula for a hydrated compound containing copper‚ chlorine‚ and water molecules

Sean Dowling Julia Phaltankar Mrs. Oakes Chemistry w/ Algebra 10/G February 18‚ 2015 Determining Empirical Formula Lab Introduction: One can find an empirical formula by taking a sample of a compound and dividing the number of moles of one element in the compound by the number of moles of another element in the compound to form a small wholenumber formula. For example‚ in a sample of a made up compound of oxygen and lead‚ one mole of lead has a molar mass of 207.2 g/mole‚ and oxygen

Chemistry Lab Report Water Hydration Introduction: A hydrated crystal or hydrated occurs when water becomes tightly attracted to a metal salt base on it’s polarity. The water molecules maintain integrity as molecules‚ however they are considered to be part of the formula of the hydrate. When the hydrate metal salt crystal is heated‚ the attractions to the water are broken by the heat energy and the water escape from the crystal. After heating the salt crystal is called as anhydrous‚ which
