Na2CO3 · 10H2O is known as sodium carbonate ______
contains water in the compound
How do you calculate the percent by mass of an element in a compound?
Add up the mass of protons and neutrons, then divide by two.
Divide the mass of the element by the total mass of the compound and multiply by 100.
Add up the atomic masses of the elements, then divide by the number of the elements.
Find the relative mass of any atom by adding the number of protons to the number of neutrons, then dividing by that total number.
Determine the formula of CuSO4·?H2O hydrate given the following data:
Test Tube = 23.56 g
