Lab experiment 12 Percent of water in a hydrate The goal of Experiment 12 was to learn how to calculate the percent of water (by mass) in barium chloride and an unknown hydrate salt‚ as well as properly calculating the water of crystallization for the unknown hydrate salt. A hydrate salt is composed of anions (-) and cations (+) surrounded by a fixed number of water molecules‚ called water of crystallization. The hydrate decomposes upon heating and

Chemistry Lab Report Water Hydration Introduction: A hydrated crystal or hydrated occurs when water becomes tightly attracted to a metal salt base on it’s polarity. The water molecules maintain integrity as molecules‚ however they are considered to be part of the formula of the hydrate. When the hydrate metal salt crystal is heated‚ the attractions to the water are broken by the heat energy and the water escape from the crystal. After heating the salt crystal is called as anhydrous‚ which

What is the Identity of this Hydrate? Date Performed: May 30‚ 12 Date Submitted: June 6‚ 2012 Name: 2968 Instructor: Reid A hydrate was given to our group and the identity of the hydrate was unknown. The lab workers were told to determine the identity of the unknown hydrate. The identity of the hydrate could be determined by calculating the hydrate’s percent of water. So the lab workers set out to determine the water percent of the unknown hydrate. The percent of any compound or element

Formula of a Hydrate Lab Design: Problem: What is the chemical formula for a hydrated copper (II) sulphate compound? Controlled Variable: The mass of hydrated copper (II) sulphate. Responding Variable: The mass of dehydrated copper (II) sulphate‚ mass of H2O Materials: Ones on the handout + Hot plate. Procedure: 1. Mass 3.00g of hydrated copper (II) sulphate using electronic balance 2. Measure the mass of a thin‚ crucible dish using electronic balance 3. Gently pour hydrated

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

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

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

The purpose of the lab is to identify the compound based on a constant composition by performing a serious of tests. The hydrate is solid crystals compound and appears to be dry: since an ionic compound (salt) is crystallized from an aqueous solution (water)‚ by heating the hydrate the water is released from ionic structure; therefore it is possible to measure the weight of the ionic compound and calculate its ratio to the liquid in the hydrate. The goal of the lab is to establish the identity

copper (II) sulfate‚ in the hydrate CuSO4 * xH2O (s)? The independent variable in this experiment is sample thermal treatment ( heating and cooling) and the dependent variable is the number of moles of water of crystallization. A number of other variables can affect the final result of the experiment: whether the crucible was clean and dry before filling it with the salt‚ whether the sample was heated too strongly and cooled too long before weighting.

9-19-13 Dehydrating and Rehydrating a Hydrate Introduction 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
