Hello!

The initial mass of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is 23,08 g

The chemical reaction for the dehydrating of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is the following:

MgSO₄·7H₂O(s) + Δ → MgSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)

We know that the sample loses 11,80 g upon heating. That mass is the mass of Water that is released as vapor. Knowing that piece of information, we can apply the following conversion factor to go from the mass of water to the moles of water and back to the mass of the original compound (mi).

mi=11,80gH_2O* \frac{1 mol H_2O}{18gH_2O}* \frac{1molMgSO_4.7H_2O}{7molH_2O}* \frac{246,47 g MgSO_4.7H_2O}{1 mol MgSO_4.7H_2O}  \\  \\ mi=23,08gMgSO_4.7H_2O

Have a nice day!

Describe the benefits and the drawback of natural gas.
Finger [1]

The images show two unrelated events occurring at separate times.
trapecia [35]

Event 1 is an example of a chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Whenever if two solutions are mixed, then if there is any color change, or evolution of any vapors, bubbles or gas formation or if there is any formation of a color or white precipitate confirms that the occurrence of a chemical reaction.

If nothing happens said above then it is said that there is no chemical reaction occurs.

Here in the event 1 a clear liquid in one beaker poured into clear liquid in beaker 2 then there is a formation of orange liquid, which means there is a formation of a new colored liquid confirms that the chemical reaction occurred.
