You ca calculate the molar mass for an anhydrous compound or for the hydrated forms; it is your choice and depends on the available reagent.
Yes, you most certainly do. For example, CuSO4 has a molecular weight of 159.6g/mol, yet it's pentahydrate has a molecular weight of 249.684g/mol. If you didn't add in the pentahydrate. You'd have about 40% error in the molarity.
H
Yes. There is no water of crystallisation.
NaCl salt does not contain water of crystallization.
The water of crystallization is a type of water contained in the molecular structure of a compound.
This can be done by heating the salt.
CaCl2 , the anhydrous (no water of crystallisation) form. There are various hydrates.
The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol.
de-watered crystals
No,it's a physical change Because there is no change in matter's composition.
A soluble salt turns into the crystalline form, usually with its water of crystallisation
To find the theoretical percent of water in a compound, you need to determine the molar mass of the compound and the molar mass of water. Then, divide the molar mass of water by the molar mass of the compound and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
