The first step is to put on your goggles and apron. Then you need to gather your materials. You then need to make observation of the hydrate. Observe the color, state, texture, etc. to smell the unknown substance you need to waft the substance by slowly moving the smell of the liquid to your nose. Step 2- For the lab my group changed the way we were doing the experiment for time. This is the first way that we did it for trails one to two. First you need to get a beaker and mass it on a scale. Then zero it on the scale and mass about 3 grams of the hydrate. Record the data for the beaker and hydrate. Turn on the burner and but a test tube holder on the test tube. Then heat the test tube over the burner back and forth and make sure it is not pointing at anyone. Warm the beaker and observe the color. Let the test tube cool down. Get the hydrate out into the beaker and mass it. Do this a couple times and record the data.

Then you need to turn on the beaker and warm up the hydrate over the burner. Do not over heat the hydrate you are not cooking it. While the hydrate is warming up you should make observation of it like the color. After the hydrate is warmed up you need to mass the hydrate. to get the water you need to subtract the You need to do this a couple times and record the
