    The number of grams of hydrated that student must weigh out in order to get desired amount of the anhydrous compound is 81.68 grams

    Calculation

    find the molar mass of Bai2 and molar mass of barium iodide dihydrate

    that is Bai2 = 137.3 + (2x127) = 391.3 g/mol

    Bai2. 2H2O = 137.3 + (2 x127) + 2 (2+16) = 427.3g/mol

    using ratios and letting the mass of hydrate be represented by Y

    427.3/391.3=Y/74.8

    multiply both side by 74.8

    Y=81.68 grams
