Answer:

MgSO4.7H2O

Explanation:

The heating removes all the water (H2O) in the crystal.

The mass of the water removed = 82-40.1 = 41.9 grams.

The formula of the hydrated salt = MgSO4. xH2O

The ratio in of the masses of MgSO4 : H2O =  40.1 : 41.9

Dividing these by the molar masses we get

40.1/ 120.4 to  41.9 / 18.016

= 0.33 : 2.33

= 1 : 7.

So there are 7 water molecules n the hydrate.

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the adult life

If the elephant is an adult from its 10th birthday until the day before its 56th birthday, its  

Adult life = 55 - 10 + 1 = 46 yr

2. Convert years to days

\text{Adult life} = \text{46 yr} \times \dfrac{\text{365.25 da}}{\text{1 yr}} = \text{16 800 da}

3. Convert days to pounds of feed

\text{Feed} = \text{16 800 da} \times \dfrac{\text{600 lb}}{\text{1 da}} = 1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb}

4. Convert pounds to kilograms and megagrams

\text{Feed} =1.01 \times 10^{7} \text{ lb} \times \dfrac{\text{1 kg}}{\text{2.20 lb}} =\textbf{4 600 000 kg} = \textbf{4600 Mg}\\\\\text{The elephant will eat $\large \boxed{\textbf{4 600 000 kg or 4600 Mg}}$ of food.}

Note: The answer can have only two significant figures because that is all you gave for age of the elephant.
