Dehydration of an Inorganic Salt Hydrate
Grace Montenaro
3/16/2024
Purpose
This experiment will use heat to accurately calculate the ratio of water to inorganic salt within a salt hydrate. Helping to understand how heating helps
to determine the water content in a hydrate, to calculate the molar ratio of water to inorganic salt in Epsom salt and find the method for balancing the chemical equation governing the decomposition of a hydrate.
Procedure
A heat resistance work area will be prepared by thoroughly cleaning a glass stove oven top. The materials will be collected and measured to the correct amounts and recorded in data table 1. Three aluminum dishes will be labeled
and weighed to find the mass. Epsom salt will then be added to each the new
mass will be measured and recorded. The Sterno lighter will then be lit and placed under a wire stand. The 3 dishes will then be placed on top the stand for ten minutes each. Once these dishes are cooled the mass will be measured again and recorded in data table 1. These measurements will be used to calculate the mass of water in each sample, the mass of magnesium sulfate, the moles of water, and the molar ratio of water to magnesium sulfate in each sample.

Experimental Conclusions
The experiment aimed to utilize heat to accurately determine the ratio of water to inorganic salt within a salt hydrate, showing how heating elements in establishing the water content in a hydrate, calculating the molar ratio of water to inorganic salt in Epsom salt, and understanding the method for balancing the chemical equation for the decomposition of a hydrate. The data revealed a consistent ratio of moles of water to moles of magnesium sulfate, averaging at approximately 7:1. The calculated actual mass percent of water in magnesium sulfate heptahydrate was found to be approximately 51.17%, with a calculated mass percentage of water in the hydrate from experimental data averaging around 52.08%. The percentage error obtained for the mass percentage of water was 1.78%. Personal Reflection Engaging in this experiment provided a hands-on opportunity to explore the principles of chemical reactions in a practical setting. By conducting this experiment, I gained a deeper understanding of how heating facilitates the removal of water from hydrates, enabling the calculation of molar ratios and percentages to come easier to me. Throughout the experiment, I found myself immersed in the process of data collection and analysis, meticulously recording measurements, and performing calculations, to form meaningful conclusions. One aspect that stood out to me was the calculation of the actual mass percent of water in magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, which required careful consideration of molecular masses. This exercise showed the importance of attention to detail and accuracy in scientific experimentation. The lab questions also prompted critical thinking and reflection on the experimental outcomes. Calculating and identifying the percent error provided more of an understanding into the precision of the experimental procedure and potential areas for improvement. I believe this experiment reinforced the significance of methodical approach and attention
to detail in scientific inquiry, laying a solid foundation for future laboratory work and exploration in chemistry.

One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride
anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate.
Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution
like this:
FeCl,(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → 2 AgCl(5) + Fe(NO3),(aq)

The chemist adds 11.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds
she has collected 8.9 mg of silver chloride.

Place a thermometer into the mixture and cool the flask in a water bath until
the temperature is below 200C. Remove the flask from the water bath and
carefully add cyclohexanol (10ml, 9.6g) to the acid mixture. Cyclohexanol is
only slightly soluble in water so you should observe two immiscible layers at
this point.
Dissolve sodium dichromate dihydrate (10.5g) in water (5ml) in a 25ml conical
flask and, using a dropping pipette, add this solution carefully drop by drop to
the cyclohexanol/sulphuric acid mixture over about 30-40minutes. Swirl the
flask vigorously during the addition process and maintain the temperature of
the mixture in the round bottomed flask between 25-35°C during the addition
by immersion of the flask in the cold water bath. If the dichromate solution is
not added slowly, a rapid rise in temperature will occur and the reaction will
become violent.
