Title:
03.09 Molar Mass of Compounds: Determining the Formula of a Hydrate
Purpose:
To determine the formula of a hydrate.
Materials:
* crucible * Bunsen burner * balance * CuSO4 hydrate
Procedure:
1. Measure the mass of the clean, empty crucible, record the mass. 2. Add one or two scoops of the hydrate to the crucible, record the mass. 3. Heat the crucible and hydrate above a Bunsen burner for at least ten minutes to make sure that all of the water evaporates. 4. Let the crucible cool and then mass the crucible with dehydrated solid inside, record the mass. 5. Calculate the formula of the hydrate.
Data and Observations: | Mass, grams | Mass of empty crucible | 19.508g | Mass of crucible and hydrate | 20.976g | Mass of hydrate | 1.4680g | Mass of crucible and dehydrate | 20.447g | Mass of dehydrate | .9390 |
Calculations:
1. Obtain the mass of the empty crucible. Obtain the mass of the crucible and the hydrate. Subtraction of the mass of the empty crucible from the mass of the hydrate and crucible gives the mass of the CuSO4 hydrate.
1.4680= (20.976) - (19.508) 2. Heat the hydrate. After heating, record the mass of the crucible and the dehydrated compound.
No calculations for this step 3. Subtracting the mass of the empty crucible from the mass of the crucible and dehydrated CuSO4 gives you the mass of the dehydrated compound.
Mass of dehydrate = (mass of the crucible and dehydrated) - (mass of empty crucible)
0.939 =20.447-19.508 4. Subtract the mass of the dehydrated compound from the mass of the hydrate to determine the mass of water that was present in the hydrate.
Mass of water = Mass of hydrate - mass of dehydrate
0.529=1.4680-.9390
5. Convert the mass of water to moles of water.
0.529g H2O x (1 mol H2O / 18.0g H2O) = 0.0294 mol H2O 6. Convert the mass of dehydrated compound to moles of the compound. 7. Divide by the lowest mole value to get a whole

    The first step in the experiment was to measure the mass of the crucible for trial 1. The second step was to add the Sodium bicarbonate using the scoopula into the crucible. The mass of the crucible and the Sodium bicarbonate was weighed. Next, the mass of just the Sodium bicarbonate was determined by subtracting the mass of the crucible and the substance by the mass of the crucible by itself. For all three trials, the mass of just the Sodium bicarbonate was exactly 2 grams.…

    A clean crucible was taken and weighed on an electronic balance. The mass was then written down. 2g of bluestone was placed in the crucible and weighed. The mass of the blue solid was written down. The crucible was placed on a clay triangle and was heated by the Bunsen burner. When the blue color disappeared, the crucible was left to cool. After the crucible had cooled, the crucible was placed on the electronic balance to be weighed for its final mass of crucible and anhydrous…

    The process is to record the tare weight of a clean crucible. According to WiseGEEK, tare weight is the weight of an object (such as a jar, a cup, or, in this case, a crucible) when it is empty. You will add 2g of the copper sulfate hydrate crystals into the crucible, and then you weigh the crucible with the copper sulfate hydrate crystals and record the data. You then heat the crucible with the hydrate in it with a Bunsen burner for slightly more than 10 minutes, and then you weigh and record the data into your data table. After the weighing, it is reheated for five more minutes, and again weighed and recorded. If the masses are not within 0.05g of each other, you reheat it for another two minutes, weigh the masses again, and record the data. Keep reheating it until the weights are within 0.05g of each other. Then you will calculate and analyze…

    Hydrate Lab Report for Chemistry Lab

    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. This ratio was then used to write the new and balanced equation of the dehydration process. The sample was then rehydrated to the original state and the percent of the hydrate recovered was calculated by using the mass of the rehydrated sample by the mass of the original hydrate and then multiplied by 100%.…

    Identification of a Hydrate Based on the Percentage of Water

    First, we cleaned, dried and heated an evaporating dish for five minutes on an iron ring with the Bunsen burner and massed it. Then, we added 2 grams of an unknown hydrate and calculated the mass of that. Next, we used gradually increasing heat for six minutes to dehydrate the solution, and we allowed it to cool for five minutes. We then massed it after cooling. We also wrote detailed observations. After this, we used our data to calculate the percent water of the solution using the appropriate equation which can be seen in the calculations section. Finally, we did a second trial to check the consistency of our data and cleaned up the lab station.…

    Hydrate Lab

    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 weight, then repeat. Once we completed that task then we were to find the number of moles of water lost, the number of moles of anhydrous copper sulfate, percent comp of water in the hydrated copper sulfate, the mole ratio of moles of water and moles of anhydrous copper sulfate. Once this is all done, we found our percent error and compared it to the exact value.…

    Compound From Aluminum Metal

    Bunsen burners heated two crucibles supported on clay triangles to red heat for no more than five minutes. After allowing the crucibles to cool, they were placed in a desiccator to cool to room temperature. The crucibles were weighed to 0.1 mg once they had reached room temperature. About .5 g of the air dried product was cautiously weighed into each crucible. The crucibles were once again placed on clay triangles and heated gently. After the product began to solidify, the Bunsen burners were adjusted so that maximum heat was provided to the crucibles for about five minutes. The crucibles were set aside to cool, and then placed in a desiccator to fully cool to room temperature. Once room temperature was reached, the crucibles were weighed to 0.1 mg. The mass of water of crystallization in the sample is represented by the loss in mass of the…

    In the lab, 1.3g barium chloride dehydrate was added to a dry mL beaker and weighed before heating with a mass of 154.14g. The beaker was then covered with a watch glass and heated. After heating, the beaker and watch glass weighed 152.72g. The beaker was then cooled and weighed with a mass of 153.84g. This was done again with the barium chloride dihydrate and the mass of the water was 0.3g. The percentage of water calculated was 21%.…
