Hydrate Practice Problems

#1: A hydrate of Na2CO3 has a mass of 4.31g before heating. After heating, the mass of the
anhydrous compound is found to be 3.22g. Determine the formula of the hydrate and then
write out the name of the hydrate.

#2: Given that the molar mass of Na2CO3•nH2O is 322.1g/mol, calculate the value of n.

#3: Anhydrous lithium perchlorate (4.78g) was dissolved in water and re-crystalized. Care was
taken to isolate all the lithium perchlorate as its hydrate. The mass of the hydrated salt
obtained was 7.21g. What hydrate is it?

#4: A substance was found to have the following percentages by mass: 23% zinc, 11% sulfur,
22% oxygen, 44% water. What is the empirical formula?

#5: A 5.00g sample of hydrated barium chloride, BaCl 2•nH2O, is heated to drive off the water.
After heating, 4.26g of anhydrous barium chloride, BaCl2, remains. What is the value of n in the
hydrate’s formula?

#6: A 1.98g sample of cobalt (II) chloride hydrate is heated over a burner. When cooled, the
mass of the remaining dehydrated compound is found to be 1.55g. What is the formula for the
original hydrate? How can you make sure that all of the water has been removed?
