Chemistry - Water Of Crstallisation

Method

• Measured the weight of the crucible...
• then the weight of the the FeSO4 (approx 4g)
• Then places the FeSO4 on top of a tripod
• Put the Bunsen burner on a low roaring flame
• Continuously you go and check what the weight is... (- the weight of the crucible)
• Once the weight starts to stabilise... there are no continuous drops in the weight
• The majority of H2O would have been lost, therefore, you know that your compound is now anhydrous
• You…
