Explanation / Answer

Q1.

mass of hydrated salt = (42.644-41.430) = 1.214 g of sample

mass of anhydrous = (42.644-42.401) = 0.243

Q2

mass of water = (1.214 - 0.243) = 0.971 g

Q3

% water in hydrate = mass of water / total mas sof hydrate = 0.971 /1.214 *100 = 79.98 %

Q4

moles of anhydrous = mass/MW = 0.243 / 136.1406 = 0.0017849 mol

Q5

mol of water = mass/MW = 0.971/18 = 0.0539

Q6

moles of water per salt = 0.0539 / 0.0017849 = 30

Formula of hydrate

CaSO4 * 30 H2O
