msingla Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Hello, I'd really appreciate it if someone could fully explain to me the answer for the following question: Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate) are commonly used as bath salts. However, the anhydrous form of the salt is a drying agent. To determine the water of hydration of Epsom salts, a 2.50g sample of the salt was placed in a porcelain evaporating dish and gently heated over a Bunsen burner flame until no further changes were observed. Below are the results: Mass of evaporating basin = 24.10gMass of evaporating basin + MgSO4.xH20 = 26.60gMass of evaporating basin after heating = 25.32g a) Calculate the mass, in g, of water evaporated from the sampleb) Calculate the mass of MgSO4c) State the formula of the hydrated salt Thank you!
