Finding Molar Mass
In an equations such as Part D of question E. 23 where the the molecular equation is shown as Na(subscript)2 CO(subscript) 3 dot 10H(subscript)2O do add or multiplayer;y to the 2 equations to find the total molecular mass because I have tried both ways and seem to be getting a different answer from the solutions manual.

Re: Finding Molar Mass
The dot simply means that the solution is a hydrate, and that you should figure out the total molar mass of the solution (roughly 286 g/mol). Then, using stoichiometry convert how many mols of water are produced with 2.00 g of that solution. Here is the chemical equation down below.
Na2CO3 * 10H2O ----> Na2CO3 + 10H2O
Basically what we did was we heated the hydrate and made it an anhydrous sample.

Re: Finding Molar Mass
In this question, you just add to find the molar mass. For Na2CO3 * 10H2O, you would compute 2(22.99) + 12.01 + 3(16) +10(18.02) = 286.19.
Re: Finding Molar Mass
The chemical equation would be Na2CO3 * 10H2O -> Na2CO3 + 10H2O. You would find the molar mass of this equation by multiplying the factors by their respective molar masses. Therefore, 2(22.99) + 12.01 + 3(16) +10(18.02) = 286.19g.
