Answer:
Disagree with the suggestion based on the hygroscopic nature of anhydrous magnesium sulfate
Explanation:
Magnesium sulfate in the anhydrous form is a drying agent. A drying agent salts of inorganic compounds that has the capability of absorbing water to become hydrated, when placed in the presence of a wet surface or moist air
Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is therefore hygroscopic such that it absorbs water from the atmosphere and becomes hydrated and increases in size as its volume is increased according to the following chemical equation
MgSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(l) → MgSO₄·7H₂O(s)
The molar mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate = 120.366 g/mol
The molar mass of the heptahydrate = 246.47 g/mol
Therefore, the mass of the magnesium sulfate doubles when it forms the heptahydrate, and the magnesium sulfate grows bigger.
B. Water Temperature {A PE X}
Explanation:
Possibly decomposition but not sure
When acids react with water, H ions are released which then combine with water molecules to form H₃O⁺
The action or process of adhering to a surface or object.
