Hi!
When titrating Calcium and Water solution, if there is some CaCO3 in the solution, the following reactions may occur in acid solution:
CaCO₃ + H⁺ → Ca⁺² + HCO₃⁻
HCO₃⁻ + H⁺ ↔ H₂CO₃ → CO₂ (g) + H₂O
The bubbles are from CO₂ that is being developed from an acidic solution of CaCO₃
The masses can be found by substractions:
- Mass of CaSO₄.H2O (hydrate):
16.05 g - 13.56 g = 2.49 g
15.07 g - 13.56 g = 1.51 g
- The mass of water is equal to the difference between the mass of the hydrate and the mass of the anhydrate:
2.49 g - 1.51 g = 0.98 g
- The percent of water is found by the formula:
massWater ÷ massHydrate * 100%
0.98 g ÷ 2.49 g * 100% = 39.36%
- The mole of water is calculated using water's molecular weight (18g/mol):
0.98 g ÷ 18 g/mol = 0.054 mol water
- A similar procedure is made for the mole of salt (CaSO₄ = 136.14 g/mol)
1.51 g ÷ 136.14 g/mol = 0.011 mol CaSO₄
- The ratio of mole of water to mole of anhydrate is:
0.054 mol water / 0.011 mol CaSO₄ = 0.49
In other words the molecular formula for the hydrate salt is CaSO₄·0.5H₂O
