This experiment determined the empirical formula of hydrated unknown copper (II) chloride by using aluminium foil as drying agents and also the effects of hydrated copper (II) chloride on heating. Introduction A
Hydrate Lab this lab will be to determine the percent water in an unknown hydrate, determine the moles of water present in each mole of the unknown substance, and to use the molecular mass to find the empirical formula of a hydrate. In this lab and unknown hydrate will be heated two sepa...
Empirical Formula of a Hydrate Questions: What is the percentage of water in a hydrated salt? What is the empirical formula of a hydrated salt? Introduction: Many inorganic compounds take up definite proportions of water as an integral part of their crystal structures. This water of crystallizatio...
Empirical Formula Lab Report Steven Leung 9/19/06 Lab Report The Empirical Formula of a Copper Oxide Purpose: To convert an unknown copper oxide to copper (Cu) metal using natural gas to provide a reducing environment as shown below: Cu O (s) + CH (g) ¨ Cu (s) + Co (g) ...
I am doing a combustion equation for lab and the workup is asking me to find the empirical formula for Co(a)(C2O4)(b) * CH2O where a, b, and c and are variables. I started out with .3283g of Cobalt Oxalate Hydrate (Co(C2O4)) and ended with .1158g of Cobalt Oxide (C3O...
When the masses of the elements of a compound are given in the problem, then we can find the moles of the elements and use them to determine the simplest molar ratio of the elements. The empirical formula is the simplest and smallest formula...
The empirical formula is the simplest and lowest whole number ratio of the different atoms in a sample of compound. To work out the empirical formula, the value of moles of the different atoms in a compound is needed. Mole is just simply a unit used to measure the amount of atoms, just...
