Chemistry Practical: Finding the water content of Na2 CO3 .xH2O by Titration Method Step 1: making up the solution Step 1. Weigh about 4g of sodium carbonate hydrate crystals into a dry weighing bottle. Place bottle, lid and powder onto the balance and weigh using an accurate balance to record weight to 3 d.p. Note: remember not to expose crystals to air for too long to avoid water loss from crystals. Step 2. Transfer the powder to a beaker (100 ml+ in size) Step 3. Reweigh the bottle and lid (and subsequently any powder left in the bottle that didn't fall out). Hence find the weight of sodium carbonate transferred to the beaker by subtracting it from the weight of the bottle, lid and powder. Step 4. Dissolve the powder in distilled water by stirring the solution. Step 5. Transfer the solution to a 250cm3 volumetric flask washing the beaker out with distilled water into the...
