1. What is your percent error on the accepted percent water of the hydrate
(compare to the accepted formula- look this up for MgSO4 * XH2O)
2. How would you test an unknown crystalline compound to determine if it was a
hydrate?
3. If you did not heat the hydrated magnesium sulfate long enough and it was not
completely converted to the anhydrous product, how would that affect the
percent of water that you calculate in the hydrate? Would your value be too large,
too small, or not affected? Explain your answer.
