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.

Which crystal does not contain water of crystallisation?

NaCl salt does not contain water of crystallization.


What is the molar mass of water in lb/lbmol?

The molar mass of water is approximately 18.015 lb/lbmol.


How do you calculate the percentage of water in a hydrate?

To calculate the percentage of water in a hydrate, you first determine the molar mass of the water and the compound. Then, you divide the molar mass of the water by the molar mass of the hydrate and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.


When calculating the mass of borax needed to make up a standard solutiondo you ionclude 10h2o?

No, when calculating the mass of borax needed to make a standard solution, you do not include the water of hydration (such as the 10H2O). You only consider the anhydrous borax (without water molecules) in your calculations.


What is the theoretical percentage of water of hydration in cacl2-2h20?

1. Find the molar mass of the hydrate (Calcium Chloride Dihydrate).Find the molar mass of water and the anhydrate (anhydrate + water = hydrate); add the molar mass values of each to find the molar mass of the hydrate.Molar Mass CaCl2: 110.98g+ Molar Mass H2O: 36.04g*Molar Mass CaCl2 * 2H2O: 147.01gFinding Molar Mass# atoms element A * atomic mass element A = Mass A# atoms element B * atomic mass element B = Mass B... etc.Add up all the mass values and you have the value for molar mass. Do this for both the anhydrate and the water molecules. Add these values together to find the molar mass of the hydrate.Molar Mass Anhydrate + Molar Mass Water Molecules* = Molar Mass Hydrate* Tip: the molar mass of water for all hydrate calculations is 18.02g x number of water molecules. This number may be useful to remember on the day of the test or while doing practice problems.*2. Calculate the percentage of water in hydrate.Divide the molar mass of water by the molar mass of the hydrate, and multiply result by 100%.36.04g147.01g x 100%Percent water in hydrate is 24.52%.
