QUESTION:
A 26.2-g sample of oxalic acid hydrate \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4} \cdot\right. \left.2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)\) is heated in an oven until all the water is driven off. How much of the anhydrous acid is left?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Here we have to calculate the amount of anhydrous acid left after the completion of the reaction.
In this question it has been given that
Mass of hydrated oxalic acid = 26.2g
Molecular mass of oxalic acid = 90.4 g
Molecular mass of hydrated oxalic acid = 126.1g
