Here is the formula for hydrated copper(II) sulfate. Notice that water of crystallisation is separated from the main formula by a dot.
We can use difference in the mass between the hydrated and anhydrous compound to calculate the mass of water of crystallisation removed by heating. Heat to constant mass to ensure all of the water of ...
Figure 1: Comparison of LMO crystallization sequences from this study and the literature. The depth of the residual LMO is based on a calculation of the increasing radius of solid material ...
