I think the answer is true but I'm not very sure
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.

Answer is: 116,1 g of Li₃N.
Chemical reaction: Li₃N + 3H₂O → 3LiOH + NH₃.
m(LiOH) = 240g.
n(LiOH) = m(LiOH) ÷ M(LiOH).
n(LiOH) = 240 g ÷ 24 g/mol = 10 mol.
from chemical reaction: n(LiOH) : n(Li₃N) = 3 : 1.
10 mol : n(Li₃N) = 3 : 1.
n(Li₃N) = 3,33 mol.
m(Li₃N) = n(Li₃N) · M(Li₃N)
m(Li₃N) = 3,33 mol · 34,85 g/mol = 116,1 g.
