Analysis Of Hydrate Lab Report

A hydrate is a compound that is bonded with a certain number of water molecules. When heated, the water will be driven out, thus being left with an anhydrate. The anhydrate is the hydrate minus the water. The hydrate must be

This experiment is based on determining the chemical formula for a hydrated compound containing copper, chloride, and water molecules in the crystal structure of the solid compound, using law of definite proportion. The general formula of the compound is CuxCly•zH2O, and aim is to determine chemical formula of this compound.

Procedure: Using distilled water, premeasured containers and objects determine displacement of fluids and density of objects. Use ice and heat measure temperatures in Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.

The percent error of the unknown A and ZnSO4 • 7H2O was 4.27%, therefore it is very likely ZnSO4 • 7H2O is the hydrate. Before heating the hydrate, it appeared white, dry, and like powder, it also was able to move throughout the tube when tilted. After the heating, the solid appeared melted but dry in the tube and did not look powder-like, instead, it was together and unable to move throughout the tube. The solid continued to look white and dry but had some parts that appeared burnt.

Then 8.0g of copper sulfate crystals were placed inside the beaker and the mass was recorded for the actual crystals. 50 mL of water was added to the beaker with the crystals. The ring stand was set up with the wire mesh on it and one partner should place the mixture in the beaker on it should be heated without letting the mixture boil. Stir the mixture and heat until the crystals are dissolved. While one partner does this, the other should obtain 1.5g of iron filings in a measuring cup and records the mass. Then the iron filings should be added small amounts at a time to the heated solution. Stir continuously until all the mixture is added to the beaker. Then it sat for 10 minutes and observations were recorded. Record the mass of a filter paper and set up a filtration apparatus with the filter paper in a funnel over an Erlenmeyer flask. Decant the liquid through the paper slowly trying not to allow any solid to get on the filter paper. Then with de-ionized water, rinse your solid in the beaker and let the solid settle then decant the liquid. Repeat the washing twice more and in the last time guide all the solid into the filter paper. Then place the filter paper on a watch glass and then into a warm oven to dry. After it is cool, record the mass of the watch glass, filter paper and solid. If there is not enough time to cool, you may have to do it the next

Put approximately 9-10(g) copper ore into beaker. Use spatula to break up any large pieces. Next add 17ml H2SO4 (aq) (hydro sulfuric acid) to the beaker. Began mixing until all or most traces of blue dissipate; or the copper ore will no longer dissolve (should appear as a milky liquid). Next use pipette to and remove solution and divide solution into 2 individual test tubes then Place test tubes into centrifuge and run centrifuge for 1 minute. Remove from centrifuge machine Fill a cuvette with the clear solution from the test tube making sure not to disturb the sediment at the bottom. Note the solution should bluish in tint Final place the cuvette in the colorimeter. Then record data and calculate in results section.

Turn on the gas burner and bring it a low heat, only to the point that there is a blue flame. Carefully push the gas burner under the crucible and heat for around two minutes in order to properly rid the crucible of any bacterias or other impurities that may affect the lab.

Purpose of this experiment was to find the amount and percent of water in a hydrated salt. Also, to successfully determine percent error and standard deviation. Hydrated salts are substances that occur naturally who usually contain an amount of water molecules chemically bonded to the compound. A few hydrated salts have weak bonds within the water molecules which allows heat to remove the water molecules creating an anhydrous salt. Hydrated salts that lose water molecules to the atmosphere without a heat source are known as efflorescent. Salts that readily absorb water are called deliquescent. An example of an anhydrous salt would be Magnesium Sulfate or also known as Epsom Salt. Epsom salt separates under heating and becomes

To begin Lab 7 of Chem 115, a clean and dry porcelain crucible and its cover were obtained. Next, an iron ring was attached to a ring stand. A clay triangle was placed on top to the ring and a Bunsen burner was placed under the ring. Following the setup for the experiment, the crucible and its cover were placed on the clay triangle and were heated for about five minutes. After, the burner was turned off and the crucible and cover were left to cool to room temperature. Once the crucible and its cover had reached room temperature, tongs were used to move them to a wire gauze. Using the wire guaze, the crucible and its cover were transported to an analytical scale to weigh and record the mass of it. Next, a strip of magnesium was obtained and

A hydrate is a chemical compound containing salt and water. Depending on the salt, there is a maximum amount of water molecules that can be absorbed by the salt. An anhydrous salt is when the hydrate loses water, which happens when the hydrate is heated

Before the synthesis of the Copper Iodine Compound, the identities provided (CuNO3)2 and Nal weighed 1.65 g and 4.7 g, respectively. After being weighed, the (CuNO3)2 exhibited a blue color, while the Nal, through observation, was a white color. However, when both identities were combined, the product turned into a brown and red rocky material. Once 20 mL of deionized water was added, the product quickly turned pale pink paste. After the solution was repeatedly washed with a total of an additional 100 mL of deionized water, the product was powdery and pink with small grains, and was left to air-dry. Once the product was air dried, it was observed to be a pale pink color, while the filter paper was stiff as the product was hard and dry. Therefore, the solid was scraped off onto a recrystallizing dish. However, the mass of an empty recrystallizing dish needed to be recorded in order to compare how much of the synthesized copper iodide was obtained. Within this case, the empty recrystallizing dish used weighed 32.01 g, the product on the empty dish weighed 1.03 g, having a total weight of 33.04 g.

1) Separate the solid from the liquid in the beaker by decanting the liquid. Ask your instructor to demonstrate the correct procedure.

First, find the mass of the dry empty crucible. Make sure that the tongs are used to transport and hold the crucible securely, as well as the wire gauze to avoid the crucible from falling. Insert 2-3 g of white powder into crucible. Then, find the mass of the crucible with the white powder on the pipe steam and leave lid slightly ajar. Heat crucible gently (top of blue flames) with lid on until bubbling ceases. When bubbling subsides, place lid ajar. After, place the crucible on wire gauze and allow crucible to cool for approximately eight minutes. Then, find the mass of the crucible with contents in it (A). Next, place crucible on pipestem triangle once again and heat for two minutes. Again, let the crucible to cool for another three minutes

The lab performed required the use of quantitative and analytical analysis along with limiting reagent analysis. The reaction of Copper (II) Sulfate, CuSO4, mass of 7.0015g with 2.0095g Fe or iron powder produced a solid precipitate of copper while the solution remained the blue color. Through this the appropriate reaction had to be determined out of the two possibilities. Through the use of a vacuum filtration system the mass of Cu was found to be 2.1726g which meant that through limiting reagent analysis Fe was determined to be the limiting reagent and the chemical reaction was determined to be as following:-

hydration is the process of providing an adequate amount of liquid to bodily tissues. Not only water can hydrate you. Things like, oatmeal, coffee, lettuce, yogurt and things of that sort can hydrate an athlete. They does not give athlete the okay not to drink water.our bodies need water to mostien food and transport nutrients to and from blood cells. They does not give athlete the okay not to drink water. Our bodys can not survive without water. Water is a solvent for out bodys. without out water athletes can become dehydrated ans in fact die. Dehydration occurs when the loss of body fluids, mostly water. When we lose too much water our bodies become unbalanced. Deyhration an come from fevers, heat exposure, and too much exercise. Even when
