Science is applied in all parts of our lives. Firefighters use science by knowing what causes fire and what circumstances are necessary for a fire to occur naturally. for example knowing the chemical composition of hay required in order for it to self ignite on fire helps to take measurements and prevent unwanted fires.

A student noticed that the size of the hot pack becomes bigger when magnesium sulfate reacts with water. She thinks that more at
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Disagree with the suggestion based on the hygroscopic nature of anhydrous magnesium sulfate

Explanation:

Magnesium sulfate in the anhydrous form is a drying agent. A drying agent salts of inorganic compounds that has the capability of absorbing water to become hydrated, when placed in the presence of a wet surface or moist air

Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is therefore hygroscopic such that it absorbs water from the atmosphere and becomes hydrated and increases in size as its volume is increased according to the following chemical equation

MgSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(l) → MgSO₄·7H₂O(s)

The molar mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate = 120.366 g/mol

The molar mass of the heptahydrate = 246.47 g/mol

Therefore, the mass of the magnesium sulfate doubles when it forms the heptahydrate, and the magnesium sulfate grows bigger.
