Percent Composition and Molar Mass

The video tutorial explains how to find the percent composition by mass of water in calcium sulfate dihydrate. It begins by calculating the molar mass of the entire compound, including calcium sulfate and two water molecules. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the percent composition by dividing the mass of the water by the total mass of the compound and multiplying by 100. The final result shows that 23.71% of the mass of calcium sulfate dihydrate is due to water.
