The compound K2SiO3 • xH2O is a hydrated crystal. It is analyzed for percent water: An empty evaporating dish was weighed and found to have a mass of 61.57g. The hydrated crystal was added and the new mass was 63.71 g. The evaporating dish with the sample was heated to remove all water and, after heating, found to have a mass of 62.61 g. What is the correct formula for this hydrated crystal? (MW for K2SiO3 = 154 g/mol and MW for H2O = 18 g/mol).
A. K2SiO2 • 6H2O
B. K2SiO2 • 5H2O
C. K2SiO2 • 8H2O
D. K2SiO2 • 9H2O
