Answer:

The present water by weight for the hydrate = 45.2%

Explanation:

From the given information;

The present water by weight = (weight of the water/ total weight of the hydrate) × 100

The present water by weight = (11.3/25) × 100%

The present water by weight = 0.452 × 100%

The present water by weight for the hydrate = 45.2%
