Answer: 0.194 moles of water molecules
Explanation:
According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number
of particles.
To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

given mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate
= 6.81 g
Molar mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate
= 246 g/mol
Putting in the values we get:

1 mole of
contains = 7 moles of water molecules
Thus 0.0277 moles of
contain =
moles of water molecules
Thus there are 0.194 moles of water molecules in 6.81 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate
