The correct answer is MgSO₄.7H₂O.

The hydrate of magnesium sulfate goes through dehydration due to action of heat. This procedure can be represented chemically as follows:

MgSO₄.XH₂O (5.018 g) = MgSO₄ (2.449 g) + XH₂O (2.569 g)

The number of moles of H2O evolved = 2.569 / molecular weight

= 2.569 / 18 = 0.1427

Number of moles of MgSO₄ produced after decomposition,

= 2.449 / molecular weight

= 2.449 / 120.37

= 0.0203

Now dividing both these numbers to obtain the mole ratio, which prevails between MgSO₄ and H₂O

For H2O = 0.1427 / 0.0203 = 7.02 or 7

Therefore, the formula for the hydrate is MgSO₄.7H₂O.

Answer: "physical change" .

________________________________________________________

This would be a "physical change" . ________________________________________________________

<u>Note</u>: This would change from a "solid" to a "liquid" / mere rearrangement of molecules/ NOT a new chemical substance—hence, a "physical change".

Answer:

C

H²O is dissociated in water into H³O+ (hydronium ions) and OH- (hydroxide) given by;

2H²O <-----> H³O+ + OH-

If you notice initially we have 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms. And similarly after the reaction we have 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms.

Ratio of H to O is 4:2

or 2:1

This is very intuitive as we have 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom in a water molecule.

Answer:

The London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles. Dispersion forces are present between any two molecules (even polar molecules) when they are almost touching.

Thus <em>PROTON movement causes partial  positive & negative charges creating </em>
