Determination of the formula of copper chloride hydrate: $1.004\mathrm{g}$ of ${\mathrm{GuxClx}}^{?}{\mathrm{zH}}_{2}0$ solid sample was dehydrated producing $0.788\mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{Cu}.\mathrm{Cl}$ (5). $0.376\mathrm{g}$ of elemental copper (copper metal) was obtained after copper metal was separated from the Curchlicomponnd (as described in this experiment). Use the above information to determine formula of the hydrated copper chloride (i.e. find $\mathrm{x},\mathrm{y}$ and $\mathrm{z}$ in Cuschis $?{\mathrm{zH}}_2$ ) Calculations: Grams of water in the copper chloride hydrate $=$ Moles of water in the sample of copper chloride hydrate (hint: use molar mass of water as the conversion factor) Mass of copper (elemental) in ${\mathrm{Cuss}}_{\mathrm{Cl}}{\mathrm{Clx}}^{+}\mathrm{zH}2\mathrm{O}=$ Moles of copper in CuxClx ${}^{?}{\mathrm{zH}}_2$ ? (Hint: use molar mass of copper as the conversion factor) Mass of chlorine in Cuxclx $=$ Hint: dehydrated sample from which you separated copper metal contained only copper and chlorine. Moles of chlorine in ${\mathrm{Cus}}_4{\mathrm{Cld}}_{?}{}^{?}{\mathrm{ZH}}_2\mathrm{O}$ Molar ratio of water to copper Molar ratio of chlorine to copper Formula of the hydrated compound.
