Hydrate Lab

We were cool and got to use a small fan .

The first lab that we have done this week was the hydrate lab. It was about using the anhydrous compound formula to determine the formula for the hydrate. The lab involved taking Copper Sulfate and driving the water out of it. then using the data from measuring the mass of the substance before and after the heating to determine the amount of water in the initial mass. I enjoyed the lab and found that it helped me establish a higher understanding of the equations we are focusing on lately.

Using Bunsen burners as flame throwers is always a joyous occasion
