It is often possible to change a
hydrate into an anhydrous
compound by heating it to drive
off the water (dehydration).
A 45.21 gram sample of a
hydrate of Ca(NO3)2 was
heated thoroughly in a
porcelain crucible, until its
weight remained constant. After
heating, 31.41 grams of the
anhydrous compound remained.
What is the formula of the
anhydrous salt
!--hydrated salt
hydrate?
Use a period instead of a dot in the
formula of the hydrate.
