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.

Two electrons are found in the same atom. One has the quantum number set (2, 1, -1, +½), and the other has the quantum number se
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer is: same orbital, but have different spin directions.

The principal quantum number (n) is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state.  

For principal quantum number n=2:  

1) azimuthal quantum number (l) can be l = 0...n-1:  

l = 0, 1.  

The azimuthal quantum number determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.  

2) magnetic quantum number (ml) can be ml = -l...+l.  

ml = -1, 0,+1.  

Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.  

3) the spin quantum number (ms), is the spin of the electron.  

ms = +1/2, -1/2.
