A geochemist in the field takes a sample of water from a rock pool lined with crystals of a certain mineral compound . He notes the temperature of the pool, , and caps the sample carefully. Back in the lab, the geochemist first dilutes the sample with distilled water to . Then he filters it and evaporates all the water under vacuum. Crystals of are left behind. The researcher washes, dries and weighs the crystals. They weigh 3.00 g.
