Question

Lab: Dehydration of an Inorganic SaltHydrates are a type of compound that contains water integrated into its solid crystalline structure. In most cases the water can be liberated by heating. In this lab, you will be analyzing the composition of a hydrate by determining the ratio of water to salt. By weighing a sample before and after heating, the mass of water incorporated in the hydrate can be determined.View tje Dehydration of an Inorganic Salt Hydrate power point. This will provide you with the necessary foundation for safely and successfully completing the lab.Note:While you work on the lab,you are required to take certain images/photos of your labto document that you actually completed the lab yourself. Each photo should include anote card or a piece of paper with your name, the date you completed the experiment and your course section numberclearly visible.Note Card Information:My Name: Zack AldawoodySection Number:145454Download the item:Dehydration of an Inorganic Salt HydrateReport attached below. This is what you will submit for grading. You can type your results and insert your images into this document.
