Answer:
MgSO4.7H2O
Explanation:
Let the formula for the hydrated magnesium sulphate be MgSO4.xH2O
Mass of the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 12.845g
Mass of anhydrous salt (MgSO4) = 6.273g
Mass of water molecule(xH2O) = Mass of the hydrated salt — Mass of anhydrous salt = 12.845 — 6.273 = 6.572g
Now,we can obtain the number of mole of water molecule present in the hydrated salt as follows:
Molar Mass of hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 24 + 32 + (16x4) + x(2 + 16) = 24 + 32 + 64 + x(18) = 120 + 18x
Mass of xH2O/ Molar Mass of MgSO4.xH2O = Mass of water / mass of hydrated salt
18x/120 + 18x = 6.572/12.845
Cross multiply to express in linear form
18x x 12.845 = 6.572(120 + 18x)
231.21x = 788.64 + 118.296x
Collect like terms
231.21x — 118.296x = 788.64
112.914x = 788.64
Divide both side by 112.914
x = 788.64 /112.914
x = 7
Therefore the formula for the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) is MgSO4.7H2O
Landslides and slumps are forms of mass movements. Types of erosion both move, in different ways. In slumps, land breaks off in one piece, or chunk. Landslides are when rocks and dirt rapidly move down a slide.
valence electrons are the number of electrons in the outer shell. there can only be 8 electrons in the outer shell. The number of valence electrons can be used to determine how many bonds are needed.
For example: H2O
O (oxygen) has 6 valence electrons
H (hydrogen) has 1 valence electron
O needs 2 more electrons to be stable
H needs 1 more electron to be stable
O forms one bond with two H atoms to form H2O.
C, a compound because it means it was made up of more than one element but, still able to be separated from the other compound(s)
