Ienttying a hydrated salt Introduction For this Practical Task you are given fll instructions forthe practical procedure, which must be followed carat. tis your responsibity to work safely and to organise your time etficenty ‘Yu have one procedure to flew which you wll cary out twice. + You will heat a hydrated salto remove the water of crystallisation and to form the anhydrous sal From the resus, you wil identity the hydrated salt Part 1~ Action of heat on the hydrated salt, ‘You ar provid wth the flloing ‘+ Two waighing bottlos, each containing approximately 2,0-2.59 0 te hyseated sal. a Record all your readings inthe tables on page 3. Experiment 1 1. Weigh one ofthe empty erusibles. “Tp the nysrated salt from one ofthe weighing bots provided ino tho weighed crucibie. Weigh the crucible with the hydrated eat 3. Using a ppe-clay triangle, support the eruciie and contents on a trped. Hoat the cruibi and contonts gently for about one minute. “Thon heat strongly fora further theee minutos. 4. Leave the crucible and residue to coo! frat least ten minutes, White tne uci is cooing down, go on to Experiment 2 '5. When tho cructte and resave aro cool, weigh the cructle and residue Calulate the mass of residue abizined Experiment 2 1.
