Answer:
12.371 g
Explanation:
Given :
[tex]m_{evaporating\ dish}=1.135\ g[/tex]
[tex]m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{Hydrate\ sample}=25.637\ g[/tex]
[tex]m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{First\ heated\ sample}=16.428\ g[/tex]
[tex]m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{Second\ heated\ sample}=13.266\ g[/tex]
Mass of salt hydrate:
[tex]m_{evaporating\ dish}=1.135\ g[/tex]
[tex]m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{Hydrate\ sample}=25.637\ g[/tex]
[tex]m_{Hydrate\ sample}=25.637-m_{evaporating\ dish}\ g=25.637-1.135\ g=24.502\ g[/tex]
Mass of salt anhydrous:
[tex]m_{evaporating\ dish}=1.135\ g[/tex]
[tex]m_{evaporating\ dish}+m_{Second\ heated\ sample}=13.266\ g[/tex]
[tex]m_{Second\ heated\ sample}=m_{salt\ anhydrous}=13.266-m_{evaporating\ dish}\ g=13.266-1.135\ g=12.131\ g[/tex]
Mass of water:
[tex]m_{water}=m_{Hydrate\ sample}-m_{salt\ anhydrous}=24.502-12.131\ g=12.371\ g[/tex]
[tex]m_{water}=12.371\ g[/tex]
