Consider dissolving sugar in water and magnesium sulfate in water. is any new substance being produced? what happens after sodiu
m hydroxide is added to the dissolved magnesium sulfate? does the addition of sodium hydroxide cause a new substance to appear? if so, what evidence shows this?

Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Sugar
(a) Dissolving in water
The white solid dissolves in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless sugar solution gives a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
2. Magnesium sulfate
(a) Dissolving in water
The colourless crystals dissolve in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless solution of magnesium sulfate gives a white precipitate (see image). This is evidence that a new substance is being produced.

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we can first compute the heat required for such temperature increase, considering the molar heat capacity of water (75.38 J/mol°C):
Afterwards, the mass of ice that can be melted is computed by:
So we solve for moles with the proper units handling:
Finally, with the molar mass of water we compute the mass:
