Cevap
The value of in the hydrated salt formula is .
Heating the hydrated salt drives off all water of crystallization. The mass of water lost is . Converting both the anhydrous salt () and water () to moles using their respective molar masses ( and ) yields of and of . The mole ratio simplifies to , making the correct value for .
