Lesson: Volatilization Gravimetry Chemistry

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.
