Hello!
The initial mass of
Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is 23,08 g
The chemical reaction for the dehydrating of
Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is the following:
MgSO₄·7H₂O(s) + Δ → MgSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)
We know that the sample loses 11,80 g upon heating.
That mass is the mass of Water that is released as vapor. Knowing that piece of information, we can apply the following conversion factor to go from the mass of water to the moles of water and back to the mass of the original compound (mi).

Have a nice day!
Answer:
The swirling yellow solid formed is lead iodide (PbI₂).
Explanation:
- The reaction of potassium iodide (KI) with lead nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) will produce lead iodide (PbI₂) and potassium nitrate (KNO₃) according to the equation:
2KI + Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbI₂↓ + 2KNO₃
- Lead iodide (PbI₂) is a yellow swirling precipitate that is formed from the reaction.
Water has a chemical formula of H2O. This means that for every 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen, one mole of water will be formed.
Note that hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are both biatomic molecules.
(1) (182 mol H2) x (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol H2) = 182 mol H2O
(2) (86 mol O2) x (2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2) = 172 mol H2O
We choose the smaller number of the two as the answer to this item. Thus, the answer to this question is 172 mol of H2O can be formed out of the given quantities.
<span>The Lewis structure for CO has 10 valence electrons. For the CO Lewis structure you'll need a triple bond between the Carbon and Oxygen atoms in order to satisfy the octets of each atom while still using the 10 valence electrons available for the CO molecule.</span>
