When heating sodium carbonate decahydrate (Na2CO3·10H2O), it loses water molecules as it converts to anhydrous sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). The molecular weight of Na2CO3·10H2O is approximately 286 g/mol, while that of anhydrous Na2CO3 is about 106 g/mol. The weight lost due to the water is around 180 g/mol (from 10 moles of water), leading to a percent loss in weight of approximately 62.9%.
The formula for calculating the percent of weight loss is: (Initial weight - Current weight) / Initial weight x 100.
The amount of water loss from cuso4·5h2o can be determined by measuring the weight of the crucible and compound before and after heating. The initial weight represents the compound with water, and the final weight after heating will show the loss of water as the difference in weight. By subtracting the initial weight from the final weight, the amount of water lost can be calculated.
To calculate percent weight loss accurately, subtract the final weight from the initial weight, then divide that number by the initial weight and multiply by 100. This will give you the percentage of weight lost.

Heating peanut butter can cause some of the moisture in the peanut butter to evaporate, resulting in a loss of mass due to water weight. However, this loss in mass is usually minimal and not very significant.
The amount of weight you can expect to drop during a weight loss camp depends on your current weight, health conditions and the length of the camp. Many people shed a large percent of their weight and can get back into shape over time!
You could use a BMI calculator which gives you a ratio. The ratio is your weight in relation to your height. You can use this ratio as your percentage to measure how far you are from your ideal weight.
Losing water weight shouldn't be a major part of your weight loss regime, and will only get you temporary results, in addition to being only temporary weight loss you can experience serious health issues. The first would be dehydration, which, if it becomes severe can have long lasting effects. Your goals should be toward losing pounds from fat loss, this type of weight loss will be more permanent and will make you healthier along the way. A mildly dehydrated person will have lost 5 to 6 percent of their body weight, moderately dehydrated will jump to 7 to 10 percent, a severely dehydrated person will have lost more than 10 percent of their body weight and is in serious danger of health complications.
