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

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

Chemistry pre- IB Empirical Formula Observations/Qualitative Data: I have used my sense to observe that the magnesium is a solid that is bendable‚ is very light and its color is silver. After being put in a Crucible covered by a lid‚ under a Bunsen burner for a few minutes‚ it has lit up and turned red. After the experiment was over‚ the magnesium was turned into an ash/powdery state and its color became white/grey. Data collection and Processing (DCP): Quantitative Data: Weight in grams

Empirical Formula Lab Class: Chemistry 1405 Fall 2013 Aim: The aim of this Lab Exercise is to use the mass of a chemical and use that mass to find the amount of moles of the final product you can get using the empirical formula. Introduction: The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in the compound‚ which as you will discover‚ is a ratio of the moles of those elements. “Empirical” also means “experimentally determined”. In this experiment

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

5H2O 2) There are at least two reasons why heating to find percentage of water in hydrated crystals is not recommended for all hydrates. The first reason is that some hydrates have such a strong bond with the water that not all of it will be able to be removed. The second reason is that different hydrates have their own mass. Depending on the mass and type of hydrate‚ some of the molecule may be burned off from heating. This would lead to a false accusation that the mass loss was all from water

Determining the Chemical Formula of a Hydrate Chemistry 11 3/5/2013 Purpose: To determine the percent by mass of water in a hydrate of copper (II) sulfate hydrate. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that when the solution is heated the hydrate will convert to an anhydrous ionic compound. Then the percentage composition will be determined by weighing the mass of the white crystals. Materials: 400ml beaker‚ hot plate‚ tongs‚ scoopula‚ electronic balance‚ glass rod‚ hot pad‚ and 4g of hydrated
