Gypsum is hydrated calcium sulfate,CaSO4.nH2O.A sample of gypsum was heated in a crucible until all the water of crystalissation had been driven off.the following results wewr obtained:

mass of crucible=37.34g

mass of crucible +gypsum,CaSO4.nH2O=45.94g

mass of crucible+anhydrous calcium sulfate,CaSO4=44.14g

calculate the value of n in the formula CaSO4.nH2O.

Ar:H=1,O=16,S=32,Ca=40)
