Here is a link to the procedure with some sample data included to show you what it might look like:https://www.delsearegional.us/Academic/Classes/highschool/science/chemistry/firstyear/labs/labs/hydrate/hydrate.html
Here is an image of our hydrate after we added water back into it following the extraction:
When we did this, it caused the dry, white, chalk material to recrystallize and begin to proceed to its initial structure; which was blue crystals.
And after you added the water it was impossible to get out! I really enjoyed this lab I thought it was interesting seeing the compound change and then re-hydrating the dehydrated compound (even though we weren't supposed to, oops!) and seeing it go back to normal.
ReplyDeleteHahaha it was funny when you guys added the water. Bri and I would have done the same thing if you guys wouldn't have first! Also, thank you for the description of what the starting and ending material looked like. The source you included was an interesting outside source as well. Thanks Kendall!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kendall for your post on different stages of the experiment. Your video was great also! It really helped me understand the procedure and the pictures in it along with your picture helped with the visual setup and execution of the experiment! I think it would've been nice to have a firm caution before everyone started adding water back to their test tubes as it seems you did. Overall this was a great post and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome post. I thought it was really funny when you guys added the water back to your hydrate. Also, this does a good job explaining the experiment for those who either didn't do the lab or didn't understand it!
