Answer:
- As "n" will represent the number of H₂O molecules inside a hydrated compound.
Formula to find the level of hydration of the compound we can have the following steps;
- Subtract the mass of the anhydrous material from its hydrous form,
- As we can have Mass of hydrated compound- Mass of anhydrous( same Compound) = Mass of water in it.
Convert the mass of the hydrate molecules of the anhydrous, hydrous form of the compound , along with the mass of water present in them to moles.As we have the formula to execute the conversion process,
- moles=mass of compound/molar mass of the same compound,
Explanation:
"Those compound or molecules which posses some water molecules in its structure.As these molecules are connected to the water molecules in some complex way, as the compound can be termed as hydrous compound in nature."
For example
- Magnesium Sulfate- MgSO₄ nH₂O
