The Determination of the Percent of Water in a Compound
CHEM 1315-022
For experiment one, The Determination of the Percent of Water in a Compound, the sole purpose of conducting this experiment was to determine the percent of water found in compounds such as Magnesium Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, and so on. Along with determining the percentages of the hygroscopic compounds the experiment allowed for the exploration of separation of hydrogen bonds to ionic solids through the use of heat. The reason that the water clings to the ionic compounds is due to its polarity, which causes the water molecules to get trapped inside of the compound and integrating into the crystal structure.
