Answer:
sulfur
Explanation:
In oxygen family sulfur has yellow color and also having stinky smell. Thus given statements are about sulfur.
It is present in oxygen family.
It has six valance electrons.
Its atomic number is 16.
Its atomic weight is 32 amu.
The electronic configuration of sulfur is given below,
S₁₆ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴
We can see the valance shell is third shell and it have six electrons thus sulfur have six valance electrons. (3s² 3p⁴ )
Sulfur is used in vulcanisation process.
It is used in bleach and also as a preservative for many food.
it is used to making gun powder.
Answer:
The answer to your question is 64.02 g of H₂O
Explanation:
Data
Mass of magnesium sulfate hepta hydrated = 125 g
Mass of water = ?
Process
1.- Calculate the molar mass of the salt and the molar mass of water
molar mass of MgSO₄ 7H₂O = 24 + 32 + 64 + 14 + 112 = 246 g
mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18 g
2.- Use proportions to calculate the mass of water in the epsom salt
246 g MgSO₄ 7H₂O------------------------- 126 g of H₂O
125 g ------------------------- x
x = (125 x 126)/246
x = 15750/246
x = 64.02 g of H₂O
