Answer:
MgSO4.7H2O
Explanation:
Let the formula for the hydrated magnesium sulphate be MgSO4.xH2O
Mass of the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 12.845g
Mass of anhydrous salt (MgSO4) = 6.273g
Mass of water molecule(xH2O) = Mass of the hydrated salt — Mass of anhydrous salt = 12.845 — 6.273 = 6.572g
Now,we can obtain the number of mole of water molecule present in the hydrated salt as follows:
Molar Mass of hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) = 24 + 32 + (16x4) + x(2 + 16) = 24 + 32 + 64 + x(18) = 120 + 18x
Mass of xH2O/ Molar Mass of MgSO4.xH2O = Mass of water / mass of hydrated salt
18x/120 + 18x = 6.572/12.845
Cross multiply to express in linear form
18x x 12.845 = 6.572(120 + 18x)
231.21x = 788.64 + 118.296x
Collect like terms
231.21x — 118.296x = 788.64
112.914x = 788.64
Divide both side by 112.914
x = 788.64 /112.914
x = 7
Therefore the formula for the hydrated salt (MgSO4.xH2O) is MgSO4.7H2O
<span>In the formation of a solution,
energy is required to overcome the forces of attraction between the solvent
particles. The first step is for the solvent particles to move in order for
solute particles to enter the system. This process is endothermic where energy
flows into the system. The second step is when solute particles must separate
from other solute particles. Lastly, the solute should move between solvent
particles.</span>
Answer: 10
Explanation: 10 + 4.1 = 10
Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.
