hydrate problem :(
When a hydrate of Na2CO3 . XH2O is heated until all of the water is removed, it loses 54.3 % of its mass. What is the value of X?
such a bad attempt...
Na2CO3=46g + 12g +48g=106g/mol
H2O=18g/mol
106+18=124 x 0.543=67.33g
I have no idea how to do this can someone please help me out
