TITLE:
Hydrated Crystals
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Many compounds are formed in reactions that
take place in water solutions. The water is then evaporated to obtain the crystalline
compound. In some cases, the water molecules are weakly attracted to the ions or
molecules that make up the compound and are retained within the crystal structure.
Crystalline compounds that retain water during evaporation are referred to as being
hydrated
or are said to contain
water of hydration
. The ratio of moles of water to
moles of compound is a small whole number. For example, the formula for the
hydrated compound copper(II)sulfate is:
CuSO
4
•
7H
2
O
The formula shows that for every mole of CuSO
4
in the crystal, there are 7 moles of
H
2
O. The ratio of moles of H
2
O to moles of compound can be determined
experimentally in most cases by heating to remove water. The compound with the
water removed is called
anhydrous
.
OBJECTIVES:
In this experiment, you will
*Heat a specific amount of hydrated magnesium sulfate to remove the water.
*Find the experimental and theoretical percentages of water in the hydrate.
*Predict the empirical formula for the hydrated magnesium sulfate
EQUIPMENT:
iron ring
wire gauze
Bunsen burner
crucible tongs
evaporating dish
watch glass
ring stand
desiccator
PROCEDURE:
1.)
Prepare a data table as directed in the analysis.
2.)
Make sure that your evaporating dish is clean and dry.
3.)
For the remainder of he lab, avoid handling the evaporating dish with your
hands. Use either the crucible tongs or paper towel.
4.)
Measure the mass of the evaporating dish.
5.)
CAUTION:
MgSO
4
are irritating, avoid breathing the fumes. Add about 3 grams
of the MgSO
4
crystals to the evaporating dish. The mass does not have to be
exactly three grams but record exactly how much of the crystals that you use.
6.)
Place he evaporating dish and the crystals on the gauze pad and iron ring stand.
7.)
Heat the evaporating dish and crystals with a medium flame for three minutes.
8.)
Stop heating the evaporating dish. When the dish is cool enough to remove,
immediately mass it.
10.) Clean evaporating dish with water.
ANALYSIS:
1.)
Prepare a table for your data, using the table below as a guide.

120 g
120 g / 246 g =
0.48780488
126 g / 246 g =
0.51219512
e.)
Compare the experimental percentage of water in the hydrate with the
theoretical percentage by calculating your percent error.

Look at the structure of a soap molecule, and explain what happened when you added soap to your oily hands and put your hands under the water for the solubility lab. Why could you wash the oil off your hands with soap and water? You should use chemistry concepts including structure, polarity, and intermolecular forces to explain your answer.
attached is the lewis structure of a basic soap molecule. There are covalent bonds between all carbons, hydrogens, and oxygens. However, there is an ionic bond between oxygen and sodium ions.

Consider two organic molecules, isopropanol, and hexane. One dissolves in water and the other
does not. Why?
Select one:
Oa. One is an electrolyte, the other is not.
O b. Isopropanol contains a polar O-H bond, and hexane does not.
O c. One is ionic, the other is not.
O d. Two of these are correct.
e. They have different molar masses.
4.00 mL of a 7.20 x 104 M solution of an unknown acid is diluted with 6.00 mL of hexane, forming
solution X. Then 3.00 mL of solution X is diluted with 7.00 x 103 L of hexane, forming solution Y.
