Hydrate Essay
1. A 15,67g sample of hydrate of magnesium carbonate was carefully heated, without decomposing the carbonate, to drive off the water. The mass was reduced to 7.58g.What is the formula of the hydrate? (10)
2. Construct balanced equations (including state symbols) to describe the following reaction: Potassium metal reacts with water to form potassium hydroxide solution and hydrogen gas (dihydrogen). (8)
3. Anhydrous lithium perchlorate (4.78g) was dissolved in water and recrystallized. Care was taken to isolate all the lithium perchlorate as its hydrate. The mass of the hydrated salt obtained was 7.21g.What hydrate is it? (7)
4. Define a hydrated compound? (3)
5. Write the ions that are produced when the following substances dissolve. (6)

    Conclusion: The purpose of this lab was to visually see the chemical change that was taking place when hydrates gain and lose water.The formula for blue hydrate is anhydrous copper (ii) sulfate (CuSO4). The percent error for the mass of water is -94.40%. The effect of the hydrate not being heated long enough would result in water still being in the hydrate. If the test tube was not dried completely prior to the initial measurement it would cause the data to follow that incorrect measurement to be false and it would also add more water into the hydrate than what was initially projected. If the anhydride was allowed to sit over before the final mass measurement was taken it would result in more water loss from the hydrate. The moles of CuSO4…

    Results: According to our results anhydrous salt magnesium has a formula hydrate of MgSO4 + 7H2O. The average moles of water per mole of anhydrous salt obtained: 6.93 moles. This was the average between trial 1 and trial 2. Even though our samples were not measures exactly even we obtained the same results for trail 1 and 2 for the percent of water in the hydrate =51% and percent of anhydrous salt in the hydrate =49%. The mass of hydrate in trial 1 =3.227g and trial 2 =1.973g. The mass of anhydrous salt trial 1 =1.581g and trial 2 =0.972g. Mass of water liberated trial 1 =1.646g and trial 2 =1.001g. Moles of anhydrous salt in 100g of hydrate trial 1 =0.407moles and trial 2 =0.807 moles. Moles of water in 100g of hydrate trial 1 =2.83 moles and trial =2 5.58 moles. Moles of…

    The precipitated calcium carbonate is then filtered, dried, and weighed. The moles of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, are equal to the moles of Group 1 metal carbonate, M2CO3, added to the original solution. Dividing the mass of the unknown carbonate by the moles of calcium carbonate yields the formula weight, and thus the identity, of the Group 1 metal carbonate.…

    Water is essential to all living things, be it plants for photosynthesis or animal or bodily functions. The human body requires water to cleanse and maintain the body. When we sustain a good supply of it, we are hydrated. The term for when we are lacking in water is dehydration. Staying hydrated and knowing the signs of dehydration are simple yet important tasks.…

    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. This ratio was then used to write the new and balanced equation of the dehydration process. The sample was then rehydrated to the original state and the percent of the hydrate recovered was calculated by using the mass of the rehydrated sample by the mass of the original hydrate and then multiplied by 100%.…
