A student heated a hyrated salt sample with an initial mass of 4.8702g, after the first heating, the mass had decreased to 3.0662g.
If the sample was heated to constant weight after reheating, what is the minimum mass that the sample can have after the second weighing?

Answer #1

Answer:-1) When hydrated salt sample heated with initial mass 4.8702 g then because of heating water is removed from sample and mass decreased to 3.0662g.

2) but if the sample was reheated to constant weight after reheating the mass remains constant over time . According to low of conservation of mass , system mass can not change quantity if it is not added or removed.hens quantity of mass conserved over time .Or after heating very very very small amount of mass increases which is difficult to measure.hens the minimum amount of mass after second weighing is 3.0662 g.

Empirical Formula of Epsom Salt Introduction Hydrates are crystalline solids that contain a fixed number of water molecules as an integral part of their crystalline structure. The number of water molecules bound per metal ion is often characteristic of that particular metal ion. One of the common hydrates is hydrated magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt). Epsom salt is used to reduce inflammation when applied externally. Epsom salts formula is sometimes written as MgSO4.xH2O. In this experiment, you will be trying to...

Epsom salt has the formula of MgSO4·7H2O. A 5.45 g sample was heated and dried completely. After cooling the mass was 2.69 g. Using calculations, show that the experimental results confirm the formula for the hydrate (i.e., seven moles of water per MgSO4 formula unit). What is the mass percent of water in the original salt sample?

A 2.634g sample containing impure copper (II) chloride diydrate was heated. The sample mass after heating to drive off the H2O was 2.125g. What was the mass % of CuCl2 x 2 H2O in the original sample? I think the following is correct. Can someone check my work? 2.634g-2.125g=0.509g H2O H2O--> 0.509/2.634 x 100% = 19.32% CuCl2--> 2.125/2.634 x 100 % = 80.68 % Is 80.68 the correct answer, or would i need to provide both percentages for a correct...

A student performed the Separation by Fractional Crystallization experiment described with the following results: Initial mass of sample mixture: 9.58 g, mass of salicylic acid recovered, 4.35 g; mass of CuSO4•5H2O recovered, 4.68 g. The recovered CuSO4•5H2O was then heated for 20 minutes at 120 °C. The mass of the new hydrate was 3.83 g. (The molar mass of H2O = 18.015 g/mol, and the molar mass of CuSO4= 159.61 g/mol) Calculate the mass of water in the new hydrate...
