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

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 was

In order to find the formula of the copper chloride hydrate‚ we had to separate the compound to find the mass of water and copper. To begin this process‚ we evaporated the water and created an anhydrous compound‚ meaning we were left with only CuxCly. By calculating the weight of both the anhydrous and the hydrated compounds‚ we could conclude that the difference in the weights was the weight of the H2O. From this we were able to calculate the percent composition of CuxCly and H2O (see Calculations:

this first lab we attempted to discover which of the materials given to us were hydrates by heating them and then dissolving them in water. Our results showed that all of our substances were hydrates besides the sucrose‚ sucrose if the only one which did not both bring condensation when heated and dissolve in water‚ which agreed with our hypothesis because we also thought that sucrose was going to be the only one that wasn’t a hydrate. The only error that we may have encountered in this lab was that

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

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

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
