If 27.0 g of MgSO4.7H2O is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate will remain?

If 27.0 g of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4·7H2O) is thoroughly heated, what mass of anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) will remain after the water of hydration has been eliminated?

MGSO4 = 120.3 G/ mol

7H20 = 126 G / mol

MGSO4.7H2O = 246.3 Grams per mole

molar mass of Anhydrous MGSO4 = 120.3

Divide 120.3 by the hydrated mass of 246.3

SO… Multiply (120.3/246.3) with the mass of sample, which is 27 G, and you get the mass of the sample without the water.

Mass of sample without water is : ~13.2G
