Determination of Water in a Hydrate DESIGN – Aspect 1: Defining the problem & selecting variables Research Question: What percentage of Copper Sulfate Hydrate is water? Background Information: There are many ionic compounds that contain one or more waters of hydration in their formulae. They exists either in anhydrous or hydrated form. Most anhydrous compounds have a strong tendency to absorb water from the humidity in the atmosphere and shifts into a hydrated form. Because of

GRAVIMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SULFATE Purpose You will be given a solid powder‚ which has been dried to constant mass. The sample is water soluble. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the concentration of sulfate in your solid sample using gravimetric analysis. Background Gravimetric Analysis The goal of most quantitative chemical analysis measurements is to estimate the relative abundance of an analyte in a chemical sample. For solid and liquid samples‚ a very common expression

Determination of Sulfate by Gravimetry Jose Luis E. De Guzman University of Santo Tomas‚ Sampaloc‚ Manila The determination of the percentage of sulfate in a sample is done as an instrument of learning a quantitative method of analysis‚ i.e.‚ of the gravimetric analysis. This type of analysis‚ which makes use of the weight of the samples was used for the experiment and required the precipitation of our analyte‚ SO4-2‚ and its filtration as a BaSO4 precipitate so as for weighing it. The weight

Historically‚ separation methods were limited and as a result precipitation methods were highly used with very fine cuts in ppt conditions. As more choices of inexpensive and quality resins are commercially available precipitation

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
