I forgot how to solve these type of problems:
Strontium hydroxide exists as a hydrate having the formula Sr(OH)2 x ? H2O, where ? indicates the number of water molecules. If 10.00 grams of this hydrate is heated to drive off the water, the resulting anhydrous compound has a mass of 4.58 grams. How many H2O molecules were in the hydrate?
Thank you in advance.
