You have to find the number of moles of water and calcium sulfate.  
to find the mass of water you subtract 3.87 by 4.89 to get 1.02g water and we are given taht the mass of calcium sulfate is 3.87g
then find the moles of water and calcium sulfate in the sample
1.02/18=0.05667mol water
3.87/136.2=0.0284 mol water
now you have to find how many moles there are per one mole of calcium sufate.
0.05667/0.0284=1.994 which can be rounded to 2 mol water for ever 1 mol calcium sulfate
therefore the formula for this CaSO₄·2H₂O and is called calcium sulfate dihydrate.

I hope this helps

How many hydrogen bonds can CH2O make to water
VladimirAG [237]
Hydrogen bonds are not like covalent bonds. They are nowhere near as strong and you can't think of them in terms of a definite number like a valence. Polar molecules interact with each other and hydrogen bonds are an example of this where the interaction is especially strong. In your example you could represent it like this: 

<span>H2C=O---------H-OH </span>

<span>But you should remember that the H2O molecule will be exchanging constantly with others in the solvation shell of the formaldehyde molecule and these in turn will be exchanging with other H2O molecules in the bulk solution. </span>

<span>Formaldehyde in aqueous solution is in equilibrium with its hydrate. </span>

<span>H2C=O + H2O <-----------------> H2C(OH)2</span>

A typical aspirin tablet contains 5.00 grains of pure aspirin analgesic compound. The rest of the tablet is
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Tablets=193

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given that a typical aspirin tablet contains 5.00 grains of pure aspirin, the first step here is to compute the mass of those grans per tablet given that 1.00 g = 15.4 grains:

m=5.00grains*\frac{1.00g}{15.4grains}=0.325g

In such a way, the number of aspirin tablets are computed considering the total mass of aspirin and the mass per tablet:

Tablets=\frac{62.7g}{0.325g}\\ \\Tablets=193

Best regards.
