Dominik [7]
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.

Why is cellulose so difficult for most animals to digest?
NNADVOKAT [17]
The answer is C .Cellulose is a long chain of glucose and to be able to use any of the energy stored in them an organism must break it down into single glucose molecules, and this is why most animals go for a different diet. The chain is very difficult to break down and must be treated with concentrated acids at high temperature. This is a hard task to do and often time needs many stomachs.

How are physical and<br>chemical changes different?​
astra-53 [7]
Physical changes happen when you do/mix something that can be reversed. Best example is ripping a paper, you can just tape it back together so it is just an observable thing that changes, which is a physical change. Chemical changes happen when you mix things and they make a new substance and can’t be reversed. The best example of this is the Statue of Liberty, which changed in color due to the chemical change between the oxygen and copper, which created a new substance (rust) which made it green instead of copper.
Sorry for the long answer but hope this helps!
