Explain How To Find The Percentage Composition Of Hydrates Lab Report

The goal of this experiment is to find out what is the identity of the unknown hydrate? To answer this question first, we should know what a hydrate, and how to identify a hydrate using the law of constant proportions. A hydrate is a pure substance because it contains water molecules embedded in its crystal structure that does not vary. By heating the unknown hydrate, we can calculate the mass of the hydrated, and the percentage of water in the hydrate.

After the water temperature began to stabilize, the highest constant temperature was recorded. This data was used to calculate the calorimeter constant. This enter procedure was repeated to calculate another calorimeter constant in order to find the average of both answers. After that value was calculated, a 600 mL beaker was filled with 300 mL of water and heated till it started boiling. An unknown metal located on the instructor's bench was obtained and the mass was calculated.

Similar to fraction 1, fraction 4 shared many of the same characteristics with water. Such as its (waters) boiling point being 100 degrees celsius, which was exactly the data the group collected with fraction 4. But you can also prove that fraction 4 was indeed water because of its solubility being .859g which is close to waters solubility, (1.00g). Another thing the shows that water was fraction 4 was the fact that sugar was also soluble in fraction 4 just like it is with water. With these three characteristics lined up together, it's easy to tell that water was also a substance in

The first major clue that there is an error somewhere is our data. We found .5% to be the ideal salinity while all other groups found the ideal salinity to be higher, around 3%. Our data is the outlier of the group. This could have happened for many reasons. Our group used much more water than most other groups, because of this our percentages for salinities are different.

The quantitative solubility of the unknown compound was determined to be 29/100ml. The known solubility of sodium sulfate is 28.11g/100mL water. Using the found solubility to compare to the known solubility of sodium sulfate. This solution created in the solubility test, the conductivity of the unknown compound was tested using an Ohmmeter to measure the resistance of the solution. Resistance is the measure of a substances ability to conduct

Hydrates are names given to compounds that contain water molecules with the formula of H2O, usually containing a fixed value of water mass percentage (Kauffman, 1998). The experiment performed consisted of three main parts. First, different hydrated salts were heated in test tubes with a Bunsen burner in order to determine observational changes for before, during, and after dehydration. After dehydrating the salts, water was added back into the test tubes to determine if rehydration was possible for the various salts. Next, several trials of dehydration of the hydrate copper sulfate were performed, with mass being measured along the way to measure the amount of mass lost and the percent of the mass that is composed of water for each sample.

Using the equation m = ΔTf/Kf , the molality of the unknown solution was found. Then, moles of unknown were calculated, which was used to calculate the average molar mass of unknown. Theory: After the experiment was completed, the data

Finally we compared these two methods in order to decide which method is more suitable. References http://www.middleschoolchemistry.com/lessonplans/chapter3/lesson1 http://chemistry.about.com/od/waterchemistry/f/What-Is-The-Density-Of-Water.htm

The mass we measured after the whole process came up, was 121.80g. The chemical reaction happened between the water and the tablet conserves the mass of the water. As a whole point, we claimed that there was a chemical reaction between the water and the tablet that produced carbon dioxide and the mass remained as same as before and after the

By the end, the sugar water was fully frozen, the plain water was halfway frozen, and the salt water was 1/3 frozen. In the end the salt water was still partially a

The contents in each of the water brands is vital information one should know before purchasing because it informs the consumer about many measurements including Calcium and Magnesium concentration, total dissolved solids, total hardness, and the water source for each brand. Each of these factors play a role in deciding whether a brand is healthy for the body, or not quite ideal.

The actual data is the result on our experiment vs theoretical, which is based on the calculations above. I have also learned to pay more attention to draining out all of the product completely before continuing to test the experiment, as any small drop of contaminant can veer our results into a different

In this experiment, the amount of water lost in the 0.99 gram sample of hydrated salt was 0.35 grams, meaning that 35.4% of the salt’s mass was water. The unknown salt’s percent water is closest to that of Copper (II) Sulfate Pentahydrate, or CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O. The percent error from the accepted percent water in CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O is 1.67%, since the calculated value came out to be 0.6 less than the accepted value of 36.0%.This lab may have had some issues or sources of error, including the possibility of insufficient heating, meaning that some water may not have evaporated, that the scale was uncalibrated, or that the evaporating dish was still hot while being measured. This would have resulted in convection currents pushing up on the plate and making it seem lighter by lifting it up

This helps get rid of the minerals and other organic materials. As distilled water consists of nothing other than oxygen and hydrogen(no starch, proteins, etc). This helps find the unknown substances and aids in the comparison of the results from the positive control. 2.
