Explanation:
Hi
The percentage of water in the sample is lower than expected.
A. Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to spatter out of the crucible:
If part of the sample is splashed from the crucible the mass of water detected will be less.
B. The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating:
If the sample absorbs water after heating the percentage of water would be higher than expected.
C. The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small:
Depending on the sample size, different procedures can be chosen for analysis.
D. The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use:
In many occasions the crucible is heated next to the sample and not in previous form.
E. Excess heating caused the dehydration sample to decompose:
If the sample decomposes during heating, the analysis should be discarded.
