The mass of a crucible and lid is 23.422 g. After adding a sample of hydrate compound the crucible, cover, and contents weigh 24.746 g. After heating with a Bunsen burner to remove the water of hydration, the mass of the crucible, cover, and sample was 24.213 g. How many moles of water did the hydrate compound contain

0.030 mole

Explanation:

Mass of crucible + lid = 23.422 g

Mass of crucible + lid + compound = 24.746 g

Mass of crucible + lid + compound - water = 24.213

Mass of water = Mass of crucible + lid + compound + heat

       = 24.746 - 24.213

                = 0.533 g

Mole of water in the hydrated compound = mass of water in the compound/molar mass of water

    = 0.533/18

         = 0.0296 mole = 0.030 mole

have a great day because if you dont you and i will be sad
