Question
The hydrated salt, MY2 XH2O, was heated strongly in a crucible to remove all the water
molecules of crystallization.
The data for this experiment are given in the table below.
Mass of empty crucible and cover
33.41 g
Mass of crucible, cover, and hydrated salt
36.93 g
Mass of crucible, cover, and anhydrous salt
35.92 g
Molar mass of anhydrous salt
178.96 g/mol
(i) Calculate the % composition by mass of water in the hydrated salt.
(ii) Determine the value of x.
(iii) M is in Period 4 of the Periodic Table of the Elements.
If Y = NO3-, identify the element M.
(iv) What is the name of this hydrated salt?
