In an experiment, a student found 18.6% by mass of water in a sample of BaCl2 * 2H2O. The accepted value is 14.8%. How would the student calculate experimental percent error?
a. 14.8/18.6*100
b. (18.6-14.8)/14.8*100
c. (18.6-14.8)/18.6*100
d. 18.6/14.8*100

An unknown metal sulfate is found to be 55.66% SO42 by mass. Assuming that the charge on the metal cation is +3, determine the identity of the cation 1. 2. The unknown metal sulfates are hygroscopic and will absorb water from air. They must thus be kept in desiccators to remove any absorbed water and keep them dry. How would your results be affected if your unknown sample was not desiccated? Would you obtain a hig her or lower mass...

2. A student repeated the experiment on a different water sample but made several mistakes. They measured out 15.0 mL water sample instead of 10.0 mL for both trials, and the precipitate they formed was dittmarite, not struvite. The mean mass of product the student obtained after the experiment was 0.3553 g. Calculate the mean concentration of phosphate in Molarity (M) of the original water sample.
