Am I right?

  1. Calculate the mass percentage of water in the hydrate. Show the calculations.

Sample 1 : 60.87%

Mass of hydrate : 0.46g

Mas of water : 0.28g

Mass percentage of water in the hydrate = 0.28g/0.46g x 100 = 60.87%

Mass of aluminum dish  

1.24g

1.26g

1.24g

-

Mass of aluminum dish + Epsom salt  

1.70g

1.94g

1.80g

-

  Epsom salt, original (hydrated) mass

0.46g

0.68g

0.56g

1.70g – 1.24g = 0.46g

Mass of aluminum dish + Epsom salt after heating

1.42g

1.62g

1.61g

 

Epsom salt, heated (dehydrated) mass

0.18g

0.36g

0.37g

1.42g- 1.24g = 0.18g

Mass of water

0.28g

0.32g

0.19g

0.46g – 0.18g = 0.28g

Moles of magnesium sulfate

0.0015mol

0.0030mol

0.0031mol

0.18g x (1mol/120.37g)= 0.0015mol

Moles of water

0.016mol

0.018mol

0.011mol

0.28g x (1mol/18.02g) = 0.016mol

Ratio of moles water: moles of magnesium sulfate
