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

Which of the following is a primary cause of LO/TO accidents?
Marianna [84]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is

A) Regular operation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Even those workplaces that have established LO/TO processes face challenges, including: Lack of specific procedures written for each piece of equipment identifying all energy sources and energy isolation devices. Lack of comprehensive safety training for everyone in the workplace. Incorrect tag use.

So, regular operation is the primary cause of LO/TO accidents.
