The purpose of this experiment is to determine the empirical formula of a hydrate.
- Hydrates are ionic compounds that contain an inorganic salt compound loosely bound to water.
In this lab, we try to determine the anhydrous (without water) mass of the hydrate.
We had to determine the mass of water by boiling the substance over the bunsen burner and measure the test tube with the substance to find out how much water was in that substance.
We determuine the percent by using the formula:
% Error= measured - accepted x 100
