Yesterday me and a lab partner completed a lab regarding the dehydration of the originally hydrous mixture copper sulfate. The objective of the lab was to use the difference method to determine the amount of molecules there are of water in the original hydrous compound copper sulfate. This required using a bunsen burner to dehydrate the mixture. Through multiple calculations and measurements we finally found out the answer. The method we used can be found on this website which is linked below.

This is the original CuSO4 with Water
This is after all the water has evaporated
I had a lot of fun doing this lab! It was so cool seeing the final product and watching the color change. Also this was helpful practice for learning how to calculate hydrates for the test.
ReplyDeleteSeems really fun and interesting! I wish my immune system had done its job on that day, so I could've come to school. The pictures make it look like a teaching lab experience.
ReplyDeleteThis lab was one of the more interesting labs I have done in science, because you could actually something change and happen in a short amount of time.
ReplyDeleteI thought this lab was pretty fun, but it also helped me prepare for the test by giving me some extra practice.
