In this lesson, we will learn how to use volatilization gravimetry to calculate the quantity of analyte in a sample or determine the formula of a hydrated compound.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

define the volatilization method in gravimetric analysis,
describe the experimental procedure involved in volatilization gravimetry,
connect the loss of mass of a hydrated compound with the loss of water molecules from the compound,
calculate the percentage of water of crystallization in a hydrated compound,
calculate the stoichiometry of a hydrated crystal based on the hydrated and dehydrated masses of a sample.
