The solubility of gaseous solutes in liquid solvents is greater when the solvent is colder.
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.
The number of neutrons in a nucleus affects the mass of the atom but not its chemical properties. Thus, a nucleus with six protons and six neutrons will have the same chemical properties as a nucleus with six protons and eight neutrons, although the two masses will be different.

I took the mg and converted it to grams. That gave me .325 grams. I took that and multiplied that by 3628 grams. If I did my math correctly, the answer would be 1179.1. Rounded up, that would be 1179 aspirin tablets.
Hope this helps. :)
