Epsom salt is MgSO4.
We assume x water of hydration in the crystalline form.
Molecular mass of MgSO4 = 24+32+4*16=120
Molecular mass of MgSO4.xH2O = 120+18x
By proportion,
2.000/0.977 = (120+18x)/120
Cross multiply
0.977(120+18x) = 120*2.000
from which we solve for x
17.586x+117.24 = 240
x=122.78/17.586
=6.980
Answer: there are 7 water of hydration in Epsom salt, according to the experiment.
Note: more accurate (proper) results may be obtained by using exact values (3-4 significant figures) in the molecular masses. However, since water of hydration is the nearest integer, using approximate values (to at least two significant figures) suffice.
This type of reaction is called: Synthesis
Answer: C (The first species to populate an uninhabited area)
Explanation:
The reaction to form NH3 is : N2 + 3H2-> 2NH3 12,33g NH3 is 12,33/17,03=0,3 =0,724 moles of NH3 moles NH3. So you need 1,5*0,724 = 1,086 moles H2 1,086*2,016 = 2,189 g of H2 is needed ro form 12,33 g NH3
