Determination of Water of Crystallization
Topic Content:
- Meaning of Water of Crystallization
What is Water of Crystallization?
Water of crystallization is an impurity in a compound. It does not take part in the chemical reaction. Hence, concentrations calculated from results during titration is that of the anhydrous substance. Water of crystallization and the percentage of water of crystallization can be calculated during titration.
The molecules of water of crystallization contained in a hydrated salt are given by the following relations.
\( \frac{Mass\: concentration \: of \: anyhdrous\:salt}{Molar\: mass \:of \: anyhdrous\:salt} \\=\frac{Mass\: concentration \:of \: hydrated\:salt}{Molar\: mass \:of \:hydrated\:salt}\\= \frac{Mass\:concentration \:of \: water \: molecules}{Molar\: mass \:of \:water \: molecules} \)
\( \frac{Mass\:concentration\:of \: anyhdrous\:salt}{Mass\: concentration \:of \: hydrated \:salt}\\ = \frac{Molar\: mass \:of \: anyhdrous\:salt}{Molar\: mass \:of \: hydrated\:salt} \)
Mass concentration of water molecules =
Mass concentration of hydrated salt – Mass concentration of anhydrous salt
