Water in Hydrates 2 Introduction: Hydrates are salts that have water incorporated into their crystalline structure. The salts' ability to form crystal structures and absorb water is due to the strong interaction between polar water molecules and ions in hydrates. The maximum amount of water that a salt can absorb is determined by its crystal structure and is known as water of hydration. Heating the salt can cause the water of hydration to be driven off, leaving an anhydrous residue. In this experiment we will find out how much water is present in some hydrates. We can do this by using some formulas like finding the mass% of water of hydration. mass% of water of hydration = mass of water(g) x 100% Mass of hydrated salt(g) Finding the mole ratio will also be required in order to determine the nearest whole number ratio of the water to salt. We can do this by using the formula:- Mole ratio = mol water Mol of anhydrous salt We will be finding how much water is in the following hydrates:- 1) MgSO 4 .XH 2 O 2) CuSO 4 .XH 2 O Procedure: The goal of this lab was to determine the formula of the unknown hydrates- MgSO 4 .XH 2 O and CuSO 4 .XH 2 O. As part of the protocol for this experiment, the first step is to make sure that all safety measures and equipment are accessible and suitable for use. The heating plate should be set to 450 degrees Celsius after the safety apparatus is in place. The mass of the two empty crucibles and their lids should be measured using the scale while you wait for the plate to heat up. The crucibles are then filled with hydrates and set on the heating plate when the heating plate has reached 450 degrees Celsius. A timer is set to heat for 15 minutes and cool for 2 minutes. The salt-filled crucible is

The solid trash is disposed of at the appropriate waste collection place when the experiments are over. The materials are cleaned, and the heating plate is switched off. Calculations and Results: Table 1: Initial Data Collection: The table below shows the weight of the salt before and after cycles 1 and 2.
