An experiment is carried out to determine the value of x in hydrated lithium hydroxide, LiOH•xH2O. A sample of the solid is heated in a crucible over a Bunsen flame. Complete dehydration takes place; decomposition does not occur. mass of empty crucible/g = Q mass of crucible with LiOH•xH2O/g = R mass of crucible and residue after heating/g = S Which equation gives the correct value of x?
AS-R / 18
BR-S / 18
C23.9(R – S) / 18(S-Q)
D23.9(S-R) / 18(S-Q)
✓ Correct answer
C: 23.9(R – S) / 18(S-Q)
