    This document contains 6 chemistry problems involving the calculation of the value of x in hydrated salts of the general formula MXx.H2O, where M is a metal and X is a nonmetal or polyatomic ion. The problems require using molar mass, percent composition, and mass change calculations to determine the number of water molecules in the hydrate.

    3 Exercise 1 – Water of Crystallisation

    1. A sample of hydrated calcium sulphate, CaSO4.xH2O, has a relative


    formula mass of 172. What is the value of x?

    2. A hydrated salt is found to have the empirical formula CaN2H8O10. What is


    its dot formula?

    3. A hydrated carbonate of an unknown Group 1 metal has the formula


    X2CO3.10H2O and is found to have a relative formula mass of 286. What is
    the Group 1 metal?

    4. 11.25 g of hydrated copper sulphate, CuSO4.xH2O, is heated until it loses


    all of its water. Its new mass is found to be 7.19 g. What is the value of x?

    5. 13.2 g of a sample of zinc sulphate, ZnSO4.xH2O, was strongly heated


    until no further change in mass was recorded. On heating, all the water
    of crystallisation evaporated as follows: ZnSO4.xH2O  ZnSO4 + xH2O.

    Calculate the number of moles of water of crystallisation in the zinc


    sulphate sample given that 7.4 g of solid remained after strong heating.

    6. A sample of hydrated magnesium sulphate, MgSO4.xH2O, is found to


    contain 51.1% water. What is the value of x?
