Weighing Water Content in Hydrated Salts by sooyeak is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes an experiment to determine the water content of hydrated copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4 x H2O) using an analytical balance. An analytical balance was used to precisely weigh the hydrated salt before and after heating to remove water. Calculations determined there were 3 moles of water in the hydrated salt. Precautions were taken such as using a sand bath for even heating and a desiccator to slowly cool samples before weighing. The analytical balance provided greater accuracy than a standar
