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

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

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

ABSTRACT By calculating the difference in the mass of the hydrate copper (II) sulfate and the anhydride we were able to determine the mass of water in the hydrate. This information was then used to determine the empirical formula of the hydrate‚ defined as a compound formed by the addition of water to another molecule. In the first trial‚ the mass of water in the hydrate was determined to be 0.41 g‚ while in the second trial the mass of water was 0.52 g. Moles of water associated with a single

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

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
