The given compound is Aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3:
Molar masses:
Aluminum = 27 g/mol
Sulfur = 32 g/mol
Oxygen = 16 g/mol
The total molar mass is 342 g/mol
The ratio by mass of the elements:
Aluminum = 27*2/342
= 0.16
Sulfur = (32*3)/342
= 0.28
Oxygen = (16*12)/342
= 0.56

If you know the Table of elements you can see it on.
Answer:
d. 8 moles of H2O on the product side
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we need to balance the given redox reaction in acidic media as shown below:
![MnO_4^{1-} (aq) + Cl^{1-} (aq) \rightarrow Mn^{2+} (aq) + Cl_2 (g)\\\\(Mn^{7+}O^{2-}_4)^{1-} (aq) + Cl^{1-} (aq) \rightarrow Mn^{2+} (aq) + Cl_2 (g)\\\\\\\\(Mn^{7+}O^{2-}_4)^{1-} (aq)+8H^++5e^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O\\\\2Cl^{1-}\rightarrow Cl_2^0+2e^-\\\\2*[(Mn^{7+}O^{2-}_4)^{1-} (aq)+8H^++5e^- \rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O]\\\\5*[2Cl^{1-}\rightarrow Cl_2^0+2e^-]\\\\\\\\2(Mn^{7+}O^{2-}_4)^{1-} (aq)+16H^++10e^- \rightarrow 2Mn^{2+}+8H_2O\\\\10Cl^{1-}\rightarrow 5Cl_2^0+10e^-\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=MnO_4%5E%7B1-%7D%20%28aq%29%20%2B%20Cl%5E%7B1-%7D%20%28aq%29%20%5Crightarrow%20%20Mn%5E%7B2%2B%7D%20%28aq%29%20%2B%20Cl_2%20%28g%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%28Mn%5E%7B7%2B%7DO%5E%7B2-%7D_4%29%5E%7B1-%7D%20%28aq%29%20%2B%20Cl%5E%7B1-%7D%20%28aq%29%20%5Crightarrow%20%20Mn%5E%7B2%2B%7D%20%28aq%29%20%2B%20Cl_2%20%28g%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%28Mn%5E%7B7%2B%7DO%5E%7B2-%7D_4%29%5E%7B1-%7D%20%28aq%29%2B8H%5E%2B%2B5e%5E-%20%5Crightarrow%20Mn%5E%7B2%2B%7D%2B4H_2O%5C%5C%5C%5C2Cl%5E%7B1-%7D%5Crightarrow%20Cl_2%5E0%2B2e%5E-%5C%5C%5C%5C2%2A%5B%28Mn%5E%7B7%2B%7DO%5E%7B2-%7D_4%29%5E%7B1-%7D%20%28aq%29%2B8H%5E%2B%2B5e%5E-%20%5Crightarrow%20Mn%5E%7B2%2B%7D%2B4H_2O%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C5%2A%5B2Cl%5E%7B1-%7D%5Crightarrow%20Cl_2%5E0%2B2e%5E-%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C2%28Mn%5E%7B7%2B%7DO%5E%7B2-%7D_4%29%5E%7B1-%7D%20%28aq%29%2B16H%5E%2B%2B10e%5E-%20%5Crightarrow%202Mn%5E%7B2%2B%7D%2B8H_2O%5C%5C%5C%5C10Cl%5E%7B1-%7D%5Crightarrow%205Cl_2%5E0%2B10e%5E-%5C%5C)
Then, we add the half reactions:

Thereby, we can see d. 8 moles of H2O on the product side.
Best regards.
The formula would be MgMn2O8
it would be 26 because once you divide 160g by 5.0g and add 12.5 you would get 26
hope this helps
