Many Waters of
Hydration Are in the
Formula?
Week 1 all
Hydrates and Desiccants
• A hydrate is a compound in which molecules water are associated
with ions
• CuSO4•5H2O
• Waters can be removed thermally to produce an anhydrous compound
• A desiccant is a substance that absorbs water and is used to remove
water (drying agent)

Specific Safety Question
In week 1, you (would have been) using copper sulfate
pentahydrate (CAS # 7758-99-8). Which of the following are safety
concerns about this species?
-It is toxic if swallowed
-It can cause eye irritation
-It is toxic to aquatic life
-It can cause skin irritation
Include this kind of specific, actionable information in your notebook
Student Learning Objectives
By completing this experiment students will
• Understand how stoichiometry and mole/mass ratios can be used to
determine mass percent ratios in compounds
• Develop a procedure for determining the formula of a hydrate, given its
anhydrous formula
RAMP Up with Safety
Hot things are hot!
Hot glassware and crucibles look the same when they’re cool. Be very
careful about using your hands.
Remove jewelry
Wire gauze (common equipment drawers) should be used for hot
glassware if it is on the bench top
Beaker or crucible tongs (also in common equipment drawers) should
be used!
You could start a fire, be careful!
Waste
Back right hood. Only open when putting waste into the container.
