An empirical formula is the lowest whole number ratio of the elements in a compound and provides information about the composition of a compound. For instance, the compound sodium sulfate decahydrate has the chemical formula Na2SO4•10H2O. This formula conveys the information that there are ten water molecules per two sodium ions per one sulfate ion. You might wonder: “How were these ratios determined?” To answer the question it is necessary to recognize that the ratio of atoms (or ions) is...

A student performs an experiment similar to experiment 1 using hydrochloric acid (HCl) and potassium hydroxide (KOH). The mass of the hydrochloric acid solution is 250.000 g. After combining the HCl and KOH, the final combined mass is 400.000 g. Given what you have learned about the conservation of mass in this experiment, what must have been the mass of the KOH solution?

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...

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...
