Answer:

Na₂CO₃.2H₂O

Explanation:

For the hydrated compound, let us denote is by Na₂CO₃.xH₂O

The unknown is the value of x which is the amount of water of crystallisation.

Given values:

Starting mass of hydrate i.e Na₂CO₃.xH₂O = 4.31g

Mass after heating (Na₂CO₃) = 3.22g

Mass of the water of crystallisation = (4.31-3.22)g = 1.09g

To determine the integer x, we find the number of moles of the anhydrous Na₂CO₃ and that of the water of crystallisation:

        Number of moles  = \frac{mass }{molar mass }

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ =[(23x2) + 12 + (16x3)]  = 106gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of H₂O = [(1x2) + (16)] = 18gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of Na₂CO₃ = \frac{3.22}{106} = 0.03mole

Number of moles of H₂O =  \frac{1.09}{18} = 0.06mole

From the obtained number of moles:

                          Na₂CO₃                               H₂O

                           0.03                                    0.06

Simplest

Ratio                  0.03/0.03                         0.03/0.06

                                 1                                      2

Therefore, x = 2
