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.
5 degrees because five - 5=0 which is where you need to get to
density is the kilogram per cubic metre means mass divided by volume.
mathmatically= density= mass/ volume
rough = m/v
Answer:
The chemical formula is NaClO and consists of one atom of sodium (Na), one atom of chlorine (Cl) and one atom of oxygen (O).
Molecular Weight/ Molar Mass: 74.44 g/mol
