Yesterday, we did a hydrate lab. It was our first class lab and it was fun! like OMG!!!
Hydrates are ionic compounds that contain an inorganic salt compound loosely bound to water. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the empirical formula of a hydrate. In the lab we determined the anhydrous (without water) mass of the hydrate. We compared it with the actual mass of the water that should be presented.
the materials we used were:
- Bunsen burner***
- test tube
- test tube rack
-test tube clamp
-weight scale
- Cobaltous chloride hexahydrate
***REMEMBER: BE AWARE OF BUNSEN BURNERS! You can't see the hot light blue flame... and if you accidentally touch it... PEACE TO YOU!
note for Mr. Doktor:
We should do more outdoor experiments with chemicals... We students want to see something big explode! lol
