Purpose: The Purpose is to find the formula of a hydrate by heating to constant mass. Procedure: 1. Begin by massing the evaporating dish provided. Once the dish is massed add the CuSO4 XH2O. 2. Mass the evaporating dish with substance and record the data, then begin heating to constant mass. 3. First time heat for 5 minutes and take the new mass. After, heat the dish in 2 minute intervals, taking the mass after each interval. Once the mass is constant, you can stop heating.

Purpose: The purpose is to determine the Ksp experimentally. Procedure: 1. Fill test tubes with equal levels of dH2O. 2. Once filled, add equal amounts of Mg(OH)2 to each test tube. 3. Stir the solutions and take pH readings with a pH meter. Record all data.
