Answer:

MnSO₄.7H₂O

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to convert the mass of the dehydrated MnSO₄. The difference between mass of the hydrate and dehydrated compound is the mass of water. With the mass we can find the moles of water and the formula of the hydrate:

<em>Moles MnSO₄ -Molar mass: 151g/mol-:</em>

17.51g * (1mol / 151g) = 0.116 moles

<em>Moles H₂O -Molar mass: 18g/mol-:</em>

32.14g-17.51g = 14.63g * (1mol / 18g) = 0.813 moles

The ratio of moles MnSO₄: Moles H₂O represent the amount of water molecules in the hydrate:

0.813mol / 0.116mol = 7 molecules of water.

The hydrate formula is:

<h3>MnSO₄.7H₂O</h3>

Why Group 18 elements on the periodic table rarely form compounds
lawyer [7]
Most elements on group 18 are the Noble Gases. They already have a complete last level with 8 electrones. Actually they can form compounds but only on the lab and they will not even last half a second.
