A sample of hydrated barium chloride (BaCl2) has a mass of 8.26 g. After dehydration, the anhydrous sample has a mass of 7.04 g. What is the correct name for the hydrate
Hydrated barium chloride is BaCl2.XH2O is 8.26 gm
Anhydrous barium chloride BaCl2 is 7.04 gm
Mass of water =mass of hydrated barium chloride is BaCl2.XH2O -mass of anhydrous barium chloride BaCl2
= 8.26-7.04 = 1.22 gm
no of moles of water = weight of water/ gram molar mass of water
= 1.22/18 =0.068 moles of water
molar mass of Bacl2 = 1*137+ 2835.5 = 208
no of moles of anhydrous BaCl2 = 7.04/208
= 0.0338 moles of BaCl2
find the moles water to BaCl2 = 0.068/00338 = 2 moles Water/ 1 mole BaCl2
correct hydrated Bacl2 formula is BaC2.2H2O
