Answer : The mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate needed are, 36.969 grams.
Explanation : Given,
Moles of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate = 0.150 mole
Molar mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate = 246.46 g/mole
Formula used :
[tex]\text{Mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate}=\text{Moles of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate}\times {\text{Molar mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate}[/tex]
Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:
[tex]\text{Mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate}=0.150mole\times 246.46g/mole[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate}=36.969g[/tex]
Therefore, the mass of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate needed are, 36.969 grams.
