Formula of a Hydrate Lab

In this lab we determined the formula of a hydrate by heating the hydrate in a test tube. We measured the water driven off by heat and the anhydrous compound left to get the formula. Some groups didn't pass the pre-lab quiz so not all of the class got into the lab. Fortunately, me and my partner both got our questions right. I think this is the best lab we've done so far because we got to use the bunsen burner.
