The required formula of hydrate is MgSO₃.6H₂O.
<h3>How do we calculate the formula of hydrate?</h3>
The number of moles of water per mole of anhydrous solid (x) will be computed by dividing the number of moles of water by the number of moles of anhydrous solid (x) to find the hydrate's formula.
Moles will be calculated as:
n = W/M, where
- W = given mass
- M = molar mass
Moles of MgSO₃ = 0.737g / 104.3g/mol = 0.007mol
Moles of H₂O = 0.763g / 18g/mol = 0.04 mol
Number of H₂O molecule = 0.04/0.007 = 5.7 = 6
So formula of hydrate is MgSO₃.6H₂O.
Hence required formula of hydrate compound is MgSO₃.6H₂O.
