Experimental Determination
Data
initial mass of hydrate before heating =
final mass of anhydrous compound after heating =
Calculations
1. mass of H2O released =
2. moles of H2O released =
3. moles of anhydrous compound =
4. find ratio of moles of water to moles of anhydrous compound
ratio = moles H2O / moles anhydrous compound =
5. formula and name:
