The mass of a crucible and a hydrated salt was found to be 21.447 g. The mass of the crucible and the anhydrous salt was 20.070 g. The mass of the crucible was 17.985 g. How do you calculate the mass of the hydrate heated?

The question asked you to determine the mass of the hydrate, even though you could calculate the mass of anhydrous salt.

And this is simply the intial mass of the hydrate and crucible, LESS the mass of the crucible, that is the tare or container weight.

So how many water molecules were lost?

Anhydrous lithium perchlorate (4.78 g) was dissolved in water and re-crystallized. Care was taken to isolate all the lithium perchlorate as its hydrate. The mass of the hydrate salt obtained was 7.21 g. What hydrate is it?

Your goal here is to find the that exists between the anhydrous salt lithium perchlorate, $"LiClO"_4$, and the water of crystalization, $"H"_2"O"$. Now, you know that the anhydrous salt...

An empty crucible with a mass of 34.24 g has a mass of 38.35 g when it contains a compound. What is the mass of the compound?

You subtract the mass of the crucible from the mass of the crucible and compound. $"Mass of crucible + compound = 38.35 g"$ $ul("Mass of crucible" color(white)(mmmmmml)= "34.24 g")$ $"Mass...

In the gravimetric analysis of magnesium, when combusted to magnesium oxide, why should care be taken to collect all of the magnesium oxide is retained by the crucible?

.....the following reaction occurs. $Mg(s) + 1/2O_2(g) rarr MgO(s)+Delta$ The magnesium oxide is a finely divided white solid, and CAN be lost during the exothermic combustion reaction. Nevertheless, given complete...

When heated in a crucible, magnesium metal reacts with oxygen from the air to form magnesium oxide in a synthesis reaction. How do you expect the mass ofthe crucible and its contents to change after the reaction?

We can represent the oxidation so.......... $Mg(s) +1/2O_2(g) stackrel(Delta)rarrMgO(s)$ And thus combustion of one equiv magnesium metal, $24.3*g$, should lead to formation of approx. $40*g$ magnesium oxide. And thus the...

9.50g of a sample of hydrated MgSO4 are heated and 4.85g of H20 are lost, how would you calculate the empirical formula of this hydrated salt?

The idea here is that you will use the mass of evaporated water and the mass of the initial hydrated sample to find the formula of the hydrate, $"MgSO"_4 *...

You weigh a sample of $"CusO"_4 * x"H"_2"O"$ and find that it has a mass of $"6.45 g"$. After you heat the sample, you find that the mass of the anhydrous salt is $"4.82 g"$. What is the value of $x$ ?

The idea here is that the difference between the mass of the hydrate and the mass of the anhydrous salt is equal to the mass of water of hydration present...
