Question
Given the following data for the hydrate M(NO3)3 dot X H2O, where M is a metal with the atomic mass 28.66 g/mol, Mass of Crucible
Given the following data for the hydrate M(NO3)3 dot X H2O, where M is a metal with the atomic mass 28.66 g/mol,
Mass of Crucible and Lid 34.5035g
Mass of Crucible, Lid and Hydrate 39.6913g
Mass of Crucible, Lid and Anhydrous Salt (3rd Heating) 37.0237g
How many molecules of water are in one formula unit of the hydrate? In other words what is the value of X? X should be a whole number, so choose the percentage of water for the hydrate that is closest to the percentage of water calculated for this experiment. HINT: X is between 6 and 18.
