percentage by mass
« on: October 02, 2011, 07:49:24 AM »
Can any one go through this question please?

A mixture of MgSO4.7H2O and CuSO4.5H2O is heated at 120 C until a mixture anhydrous compounds is produced. If 5.00 g of the mixture gave 3.00 of the anhydrous compounds, calculate the percentage by mass of MgSO4.7H2O in the mixture.

If there is x grams of MgSO4.7H2O, how many grams of CuSO4.5H2O are there?

How many moles of CuSO4.5H2O, and of MgSO4.7H2O?

How many moles of CuSO4 after heating. and of MgSO4?

What is the mass of CuSO4 after heating, and of MgSO4?

I am sorry I am new to chemistry. I have no idea whats going on after heating would be nice if someone did this question for me as I got 10 more which are due tomorrow. So I can use it as an example to carry on with rest.

1. After heating, all H2O are being removed.

2. So what components remain?
