Can someone explain the steps of a problem I solved?
« on: October 10, 2019, 10:17:40 PM »
My chemistry teacher decided to not teach us how to solve this type of problem so I followed an online guide. I understand the math invovled, but I don't understand why.

problem: A student had a sample of BaCl2•2H2O and an inert material. He heated a sample until the mass did
not change. From this data, calculate the percentage of BaCl2•2H2O in the original sample.

math: https://socratic.org/questions/a-student-had-a-sample-of-bacl2-2h2o-and-an-inert-material-he-heated-a-sample-un

All I ask for is someone to explain every step to me. That would help tremendously. Thank you :)

Hard to say what you don't understand, the procedure is described and explained reasonably well on the linked page.
