Formula of a Hydrate Lab
We ran the Formula of a Hydrate Lab on Monday this week, and it was very interesting and connected to our lesson perfectly. We started with Copper (II) Sulfate pentahydride (we didn't figure out that it was pentahydride until completing the lab), and we heated it using a bunsen burner. We heated the chemical in a test tube for about 5-7 minutes, then let the chemical cool before we took it's mass. We took the mass in order to figure out the mass of the water that was driven off, so we could try to find the number of water molecules in the substance. After weighing, we reheated the substance to drive off any additional water, and re-massed to chemical. Then, we calculated the number of water molecules in the substance, and determined that the answer was 5.

The lab sounded very interesting. The link contained a lot of viable information which was very relevant to our lesson.
ReplyDeleteWow that seemed like a cool lab. I haven't had the best of luck with the pre lab questions, and I didn't get to participate in this one once again. Atleast I can see what the experiment was like thanks to your post.:)
