Question:
Describe how to find the % by mass of water in the hydrate {eq}CuSO_4 \cdot 5H_2O {/eq} assuming that the formula is not yet known. Be specific and list the laboratory procedural steps to take.
Mass Percent and Ratio:
The percent by mass is a percentage that shows how much the mass of a certain component of a compound or mixture accounts for the entire mass of that compound or mixture. The percentage can be expressed as a mass ratio by dividing the mass percent by one hundred.
