    Based on experiments measuring the mass of empty crucibles before and after heating compounds, the percentage of water composition in BaCl2 X H2O was calculated to be 14.68%. The percentage of water in an unknown compound A was 16.57%, closer to the 20.93% water in CaSO4.2H2O, so the unknown compound was identified as CaSO4.2H2O. Proper experimental procedures like cleaning crucibles, following time and temperature guidelines, and using the same balance were emphasized to improve accuracy.

    DISCUSSION

    Based on the experiments, we expected to the mass of empty crucible and mass of an empty
    crucible before and after heating. This is important due to calculate the percentage of composition
    water in BaCl2 X H2O Unfortunately, the percentage of composition of water in BaCl2 X H2O
    (14.68%). For compound A , the percentage of compositon of water in Compound A (16.57%) is
    nearer to the percentage of composition of water in CaSO4.2H2O (20.93%). So, we identified
    compound A as CaSO4.2H2O.Make sure we clean the crucible and check for any stress cracks.
    We also must obey the time given when heating and cooling crucible. When reading the
    temperature, the eye must be perpendicular to the scale. We also must use the same analytical
    balance to get more accuracy of mass. Then, repeat the experiment to get average of mass and
    reading

    Conclusion:
    Based on the experiment, we found that the mol of water in Barium
    Chloride Hydrate using present composition concept and the atomic
    mass
