Answer
# ExplanationTo determine the percent by mass of water in the hydrate
, we use the following formula:
Given:- M.M. of
=
- M.M. of
=
Substituting these values into the formula:
Calculating this:
Next, to determine the percent by mass of the anhydrous salt
in the hydrate, we use a similar formula:
Given:- M.M. of
=
- M.M. of
=
Substituting these values into the formula:
Calculating this:
# AnswerThe percent by mass of water in the hydrate is
.The percent by mass of the anhydrous salt,
, in the hydrate is
.
