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

9-19-13 Dehydrating and Rehydrating a Hydrate Introduction The mass percent of water was determined using the mass of water and dividing it by the total mass of the hydrate and then multiplying that answer by 100%. The number of moles of water in a hydrate was determined by taking the mass of the water released and dividing it by the molar mass of water. The number of moles of water and the number of moles of the hydrate was used to calculate the ratio of moles of water to moles of the sample

Pre Lab 1a. Hydrated compound: ionic compound which contain water molecules inside their crystal lattice. The water is not chemically bonded to the crystal in any way and can be extracted by heating the compound. 1b. Anhydrous compound: a compound without water. 2a. The dot means that there are water molecules present in the crystal lattice in a specific ratio. 2b. For every mole of copper sulfate‚ there are five moles of water. 2c. The molar mass of copper (II) sulfate is 159.61 grams/mol

The lab in which we conducted last Tuesday was an analysis of a hydrate and what happens to it when it is heated. A hydrate is a crystalline compound which water molecules are chemically bound to it. In the lab‚ we were to analyze the difference in grams of the hydrate and the anhydrate. An anhydrate is the crystalline compound without the water molecules bound to it. During our lab‚ we were to heat up the crucible‚ the crucible with hydrate‚ and the crucible with an anhydrous and write down each

Abstract: Hydrates are compound with a constant composition. Concepts of Law of Definite Proportions (hydrates remain in constant proportions) and Law of Conservation of Mass (this idea is used to determine the mass of water in the compound and‚ subsequently‚ the formula of the compound) are expressed in this experiment. In this experiment‚ the goal was to find the formula of copper sulfate pentahydrate by heating a sample of the blue compound in order to evaporate the water and receive the

Hydtrate Introduction The objective of this lab is for students to determine the percentage of cobalt oxalate hydrate using the gravimetric analysis. They will also do a redox titration to determine the percentage of oxalate in the compound. After the percentages are calculated‚ you will determine the percent water by the difference of Oxalate and Cobalt from %100. Procedure Determination of Cobalt 1. Weigh 0.3 g of solid cobalt oxalate hydrate (from lab 8) on a balance then place it in a preweighed

Percent Water in a Hydrate PURPOSE To determine the percent water in a hydrate sample. INTRODUCTION Many substances contain water molecules as a part of their crystal structure. We call such solids hydrates‚ and we call the bound water the water of hydration. A hydrate has a definite number of water molecules bound to each anhydrous salt unit. The formula of the hydrate copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is CuSO4 · 5 H2O The dot indicates that the molecules of water are attached to the ions in

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.
