2-Heat the evaporating dish for three minutes
3- Carefully use the tongs to remove it
4- Let cool for five minutes
5- Measure two grams of hydrate
6- Record exact mass of dish and hydrate
7- Heat dish and hydrate
8- Heat until all the blue is gone
9- The teacher will use a scooper to break it up
10- Let cool for a minute
11- Find mass immediately after
