Question

Step.

Apply A hydrate contains 0.050 mol of H2O for every
0.00998 mol of ionic compound. Write a generalized
formula of the hydrate.
​

Answer 1

General formula of the hydrate XY.5H₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula of a hydrate is given by; XY.nH₂O

Where n is the number of water of crystallization;

n = Moles of H₂O/Moles of XY

= 0.050 Mol/0.00998 mol

= 5.01

≈ 5

Therefore, the generalized formula of the hydrate is XY.5H₂O
