Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry syllabusChemistry YCH11First assessment 2019

Work backwards from the titre through dilution and reaction ratios, find the anhydrous salt mass and divide the remaining water moles by salt moles.

How this is tested

  • Find hydrated-salt moles from direct titre or acid remaining after back titration.
  • Calculate water moles from the mass difference and determine the integer hydration value.
