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.
To answer this expression we should follow the mathematical rule. The mathematical rule that we will follow is called BODMAS short for brackets, powers, divide, multiply, add, subtract. So, we will first solve the one in the brackets which is <span>(72.61 - 68.59) is equal to 4.02 then we will multiply this to 18.76 and the answer is 75.4152.</span>

(all of which mean the same thing)
The volume of SO2 produced at 325k is calculated as below
calculate the moles of SO2 produced which is calculated as follows
write the reacting equation
K2SO3 +2 HCl = 2KCl +H2O+ SO2
find the moles of HCl used
=mass/molar mass = 15g/ 36.5 g/mol =0.411 moles
by use of mole ratio between HCl to SO2 which is 2:1 the moles of SO2 is therefore = 0.411 /2 =0.206 moles of SO2
use the idea gas equation to calculate the volume SO2
that is V=nRT/P
where n=0.206 moles
R(gas constant) = 0.082 L.atm/ mol.k
T=325 K
P=1.35 atm
V=(0.206 moles x 0.082 L.atm/mol.k x325 k)/1.35 atm = 4.07 L of SO2
A weirdly worded question. That chemical formula is of glucose which is a carbohydrate as it consists of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms and is a monosaccharide (simple sugar). It had 6 carbon atoms
