Question. (Type below and show all work to answer.) 4. Describe any visual differences between the hydrated sample and the dried, anhydrous form. 5. How would the following errors affect the empirical formula for the compound? a. The student ran out of time and did not do the second heating. Explain how this error will affect the calculation for the number of moles of water in the hydrate? Will the final answer be artificially high or low? How do you know? b. The student recorded the mass of the cup + sample incorrectly and started with 2.2 g of hydrated compound but used 2.0 g in the calculations. Explain how this error will affect the calculation for the number of moles of water in the hydrate? Will the final answer be artificially high or low? How do you know?
