We know that :
<span>MgSO4.7H2O + heat = MgSO4 + 7 H2O 
</span>Also,
molar mass of MgSO4*7H2O = 246.47 g/mole
molar mass of MgSO4(anhydrous) = 120.415 g/mole

Therefore,
<span>Remaining mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate = </span>(20 grams of MgSO4⋅7H2O) / (246.4746 grams of MgSO4⋅7H2O/mole) x (1 mole of MgSO4 / 1 mole of  MgSO4⋅7H2O) x (120.3676 grams of  MgSO4/mole )
                                                                                 = 7.7 grams of MgSO4

Answer: 9.8g

Explanation:

The calculation is based on the fact that all the water in the molecule will be removed.

i will, then, calculate the mass of water removed and then subtract it from the original 20.0 g of sample.

You can do that following these steps.

1) Calculate the number of moles of the hydrated magnsium sulfate, MgSO₄⋅7H₂O

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

The molar mass of MgSO₄⋅7H₂O is calcualted from the atomic mass of each atom times the number of atoms in the formula:

molar mass = 24.305 g/mol + 32.065 g/mol + 4×15.999g/mol + 7×2×1.008g/mol + 7×15.999 g/mol = 246.471 g/mol

⇒ moles of MgSO₄⋅7H₂O = 20.0g / 246.471 g/mol = 0.0811 moles

2) Calculate the number of moles of water, using the ratio from the chemical formula:

7 moles H₂O / 1 mol MgSO₄⋅7H₂O = x / 0.0811 mols MgSO₄⋅7H₂O

⇒ x = 0.0811 × 7 moles H₂O = 0.568 moles H₂O

3) Convert moles of H₂O to grams:

number of moles = mass in grams × molar mass = 0.568 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 10.2 g

4) Hence the mass remaining is 20.0g - 10.2g = 9.8g

2.what is the purpose of the sodium sulfate? (1 pt) why did you rinse the sodium sulfate with an additional portion of methylene
suter [353]

To ensure that the 9-Fluorenone was totally dry, it had to be washed with methylene chloride. To make sure that methylene chloride is present in a pure solution, sodium sulfate binds to water and precipitates.

<h3>What is the purpose of the sodium sulfate?</h3>
  • Although it has numerous additional uses, sodium sulfate is primarily employed in the production of detergents and in the Kraft process of paper pulping.
  • The decahydrate's natural mineral form, mirabilite, accounts for about half of the world's output, with the other half coming from chemical byproducts. Sodium sulfate was used as a drying, isolating, and anhydrous salt for the 9-fluorenone.
  • To make sure that methylene chloride is present in a pure solution, sodium sulfate binds to water and precipitates.
  • The sodium salt of sulfuric acid is known as sodium sulfate. Na2SO4 is the chemical formula for sodium sulfate. The mineral thenardite, which is also known as anhydrous sulfate, is described as a white, crystalline solid, whereas the decahydrate Na2SO4. 10H2O is also known as Glauber's salt or the mirabilis salt.
