Evolved. the reason why is because mabye they got trapped or something in san francisco, and since they couldnt go back to japan, they had to evolve into san francisco in order to stay alive
i think that it is the tree
Epsom salt is MgSO4.
We assume x water of hydration in the crystalline form.
Molecular mass of MgSO4 = 24+32+4*16=120
Molecular mass of MgSO4.xH2O = 120+18x
By proportion,
2.000/0.977 = (120+18x)/120
Cross multiply
0.977(120+18x) = 120*2.000
from which we solve for x
17.586x+117.24 = 240
x=122.78/17.586
=6.980
Answer: there are 7 water of hydration in Epsom salt, according to the experiment.
Note: more accurate (proper) results may be obtained by using exact values (3-4 significant figures) in the molecular masses. However, since water of hydration is the nearest integer, using approximate values (to at least two significant figures) suffice.
