Explain what is meant by molecular formula
formula which shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule
Example : C2H6
Explain what is meant is meant by Empirical Formula
a formula which shows the simplest whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound
CH3
Formula of Moles
Mass/RFM
Define the term Hydrated
Hydrated means that solid crystals contain water of crystallization
Define the term Anhydrous
Does not contain water of crystallization
Define Dehydration
means removal of water of crystallization
Define Water of Crystallisation
Water which is chemically bone into the crystal structure
Describe Heating to Constant mass
finding the mass of a suitable container and the counting containing the initial substance, heating the substance in the container and taking mss measurements and various intervals during the heating until two consecutive mass measurements are the same
How to remove water of crystallisation
by heating to constant mass
