Which processes are needed and in which order?

A. 1, 2, 3 and 4

10. Crystals of sodium sulphate-10-water, Na2SO4.10H2O, are prepared by
titration. conical flask burette filled with sulphuric acid 25.0 cm3 of sodium
hydroxide(aq) concentration 2.24mol /dm3 (a) 25.0cm3 of aqueous sodium
hydroxide is pipetted into a conical flask. A few drops of an indicator are added.
Using a burette, dilute sulphuric acid is slowly added until the indicator just
changes colour. The volume of acid needed to neutralise the alkali is noted.
Suggest how you would continue the experiment to obtain pure, dry crystals of
sodium sulphate-10-water.
