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

What is the ph of a 0.45 m solution of aniline (c6h5nh2)? (pkb  9.40)?
mote1985 [20]

Answer is: pH of aniline is 9.13.<span>
Chemical reaction: C</span>₆H₅NH₂(aq)+ H₂O(l) ⇌ C₆H₅NH₃⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

pKb(C₆H₅NH₂) = 9.40.

Kb(C₆H₅NH₂) = 10∧(-9.4) = 4·10⁻¹⁰.

c₀(C₆H₅NH₂) = 0.45 M.

c(C₆H₅NH₃⁺) = c(OH⁻) = x.

c(C₆H₅NH₂) = 0.45 M - x.

Kb = c(C₆H₅NH₃⁺) · c(OH⁻) / c(C₆H₅NH₂).

4·10⁻¹⁰ = x² /  (0.45 M - x). 

Solve quadratic equation: x = c(OH⁻) = 0.0000134 M.

pOH = -log(0.0000134 M.) = 4.87.

pH = 14 - 4.87 = 9.13.
