pendulum. The period of oscillation is the time it takes the weight to pass back and forth once over this arc. The length of the pendulum is the distance between the point at which the pendulum is fixed‚ called pivot‚ and the center of gravity of the weight at the other end of the string or wire of the pendulum. The period of oscillation of a pendulum depends on the gravitational pull acting on the pendulum and the length op pendulum. To eliminate error in measuring the period‚ it is better

Lillian Zhang AP Chemistry 3rd Period Formula of an Unknown Hydrate The purpose of the Formula of an Unknown Hydrate lab is to determine the weight percentage of H2O hydrated to an unknown salt and the empirical formula for the hydrated salt. To do this‚ a massed amount of the hydrate is heated over either a hot plate or Bunsen burner. This causes the water to be removed‚ leaving the anhydrous salt behind in the dish. The mass of the anhydrous salt‚ now with the absence of water‚ is less than
