Answer:
Mass of the hydrate heated = 3.462 g
Solution and Explanation:
- A hydrate is a salt or a compound that contains water of crystallization. Â
- For example, hydrated sodium carbonate which contains 10 moles of water of crystallization, Naâ‚‚CO₃ .10Hâ‚‚O. Â
- In our case we are required to determine the mass of the hydrate;
Mass of the hydrate heated Â
Mass of the hydrate = mass of crucible and hydrate salt– mass of the crucible Â
Mass of crucible and hydrates salt = 21.447 g Â
Mass of the crucible = 17.985 g Â
Therefore;
Mass of the hydrate = 21.447 g – 17.985 g Â
                  = 3.462 g Â
