What is the identity of the unknown hydrate? Hydrates are pure substances that contain water molecules embedded in their crystal structures. When a hydrate is heated the water molecules evaporate leaving behind a solid known as anhydrous. The identity of a hydrate can be found by finding out the percent water in the hydrate. The experiment was done in a manner to find the percent water in an unknown hydrate to identify the hydrate. The hydrates were BaCL2*2H2O, CuSO4*5H2O, CaCL2*2H2O, and ZnSO4*7H2O and each has a different percent water in the hydrate. Determining the percent water in the hydrate would allow for the identity of the hydrate to be found. In order to determine the percent water in a hydrate, the mass of the hydrate, the
