Iron(II) sulfate crystals have the formula , where is a whole number. A student is asked to find the value of .
The crystals are placed in a previously weighed crucible which is then reweighed.
What colour are iron(II) sulfate crystals?
______
Mass of crucible + iron(II) sulfate crystals = 9.01 g
Mass of crucible = 5.97 g
Calculate the mass of iron(II) sulfate crystals used in the experiment.
______
The crystals are gently heated until no more water is given off.
The crucible and contents are cooled and reweighed.
Mass of crucible and iron(II) sulfate after heating = 7.66 g
Calculate the mass of iron(II) sulfate which remains after heating.
______
Calculate the mass of water lost from the crystals.
______
