Evaporation Vs Calorimetry Essay
My hypothesis is that if I turn the water to vapor then I will be able to determine the ratio and the amount of moles of the salt and water. This is because by using evaporation I will be able to learn the mass of the salt and of the water needed for n=m/MM which states the amount of moles can be found by dividing mass of the moles by the molar mass.

Experiment 1

First I took a crucible, a balance, and a Bunsen burner and placed them onto the workbench.
Then I measured the mass of the empty crucible with the balance and recorded it in my notes.
Next I added 5 g of the copper sulfate hydrate to the crucible.
I measured the mass of the crucible with the balance and recorded it in my notes.
Then I moved the crucible onto the Bunsen burner and

    Start off by weighing two paracetamol tablets using some accurate scales. Record the mass down (1.15g). This had to be as accurate and precise as we could get it so we had the correct weight to start the experiment. Without this then the results we found at the end would not be accurate. A problem that could be faced with this is that the scales may not have been fully set to zero. Also it takes time for it to fully reach its weight on the reading so you may move them too quick before the right weight has been set.…

    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.…

    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…

    This is supported by the experimental data collected from the experiment. From our data, it can be easily calculated that the mass of the lost water was .96g and the anhydrous salt left behind massed at 1.49g. Using this information it can be determine the moles of each substance (.96g/18.02g=.053 moles of water, and 1.49g/159.62=.00933 moles of anhydrous salt). This is possible to calculate due to the scientific understanding that the mass of an element in grams divided by its average atomic mass will calculate the moles it’s equivalent to. After calculating the moles of each, the ratio .053 moles of water to .00933 moles of anhydrous salt is formed. Then, by dividing the moles of water by the moles of anhydrous salt a ratio between the two will be formed. This is because of a scientific principle that when dividing the moles of one molecule by another will result in a proportion of moles of one element to 1 mole of the other. The calculation produces 5.6806 moles of water/1 mole of anhydrous salt and after rounding to the nearest whole number the ratio 6 moles of water to 1 mole of anhydrous salt forms. Last, when plugged into the chemical formula of the hydrate (copper (ii) sulfate), the result is 1CuSO46H2O, which is the formula of the…
