Question
Explanation / Answer
Trial-1
Mass of Crucible +Cover = 20.729 g
Mass of Crucible + cover + hydrated sample= 21.747 g
Mass of hydrated sample = 21.747 g -20.729 g = 1.018 g
Mass of Crucible + cover + dehydrated sample = 21.387 g
Mass of dehydrated sample = 21.387 g - 20.729 g = 0.658 g
Mass of water evolved = 1.018 g - 0.658 g = 0.360g
From mass of H2O, calculate moles H2O
0.360 g H2O x 1 mol /18.02 g = 0.01997 moles
Moles of dehydrated sample = 0.658 g/159.609 g/mol = 0.00412 moles
Value of n= moles H2O / Moles of dehydrated sample
n= 0.01997 moles/0.00412 moles = 4.85 approximately 5
Actual formula of hydrate = CuSO4.5H2O
PART C % error
Theoretical mass % of water in the hydrate -
Cu = 63.55 g/mol
S = 32.07 g/mol
O x 4 = 16.00 g/mol x 4 = 64.00 g/mol
H2O x 5 = 18.02 g/mol x 5 = 90.10 g/mol
Now add them together 63.55g/mol + 32.07 g/mol + 64.00 g/mol + 90.10 g/mol = 249.72 g/mol
In 249.72 grams of hydrate, 90.10 grams is water,
So, the percentage of water = (90.10 g / 249.72 g) x 100
= 36.08% water
Experimental mass % of water in the hydrate -
Mass % H2O in sample = (Mass of water evolved/ Mass of hydrated sample) x100
= (0.360 g/1.018 g) x 100%
= 35.36%
Percent error = [experimental value - theoretical value] / theoretical value x 100%
= [35.36 – 36.08]/ 36.08 x 100%
= -1.99% ~ 2%
Discard any negative sign. Take the absolute value so percent error is 2%
Trial-2
Experimental mass % of water in the hydrate -
Mass % H2O in sample = (Mass of water evolved/ Mass of hydrated sample) x100
= (0.476 g/1.298 g) x 100%
= 36.67 %
Percent error = [experimental value - theoretical value] / theoretical value x 100%
= [36.67 – 36.08]/ 36.08 x 100%
= 1.6 %
