    The document provides instructions for two experiments to determine the value of x in hydrated chemical formulas. The first experiment involves dehydrating sodium thiosulfate and calculating x as 5 based on the mass change. The second experiment involves heating and cooling strontium chloride crystals but does not yield the correct value of x = 6, and suggests improving the experiment's validity to obtain the right value.

    Worksheet: Water of Crystallisation Name

    1. 4.96 g of a hydrated sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3.xH2O) were dehydrated and


    formed 3.16 g of anhydrous salt. Find the value of x.

    2. Strontium chloride is a compound used to give a bright red colour to fireworks.


    The crystals contain water of crystallisation. A student did an experiment to find
    out the exact formula for strontium chloride, SrCl 2.xH2O, and recorded the results
    shown. From these, calculate the value of x.
    Mass of crucible and lid used 22.42 g

    Mass of crucible, lid and hydrated 25.64 g


    strontium chloride
    Mass of crucible, lid and strontium 24.56 g
    chloride after heating and cooling once

    Suggest what should have been done to improve the validity of this experiment
    and hence gaining the correct value for x, which should be 6.
