Step.
apply a hydrate contains 0.050 mol of h2o for every
0.00998 mol of ionic compound. write a generalized
formula of the hydrate.

General formula of the hydrate XY.5H₂O

Explanation:

The general formula of a hydrate is given by; XY.nH₂O

Where n is the number of water of crystallization;

n = Moles of H₂O/Moles of XY

  = 0.050 Mol/0.00998 mol

  = 5.01

  ≈ 5

Therefore, the generalized formula of the hydrate is XY.5H₂O
