Describe what will eventually happen to the water level in the beaker.
Explain your reasoning.

The water level in the beaker will eventually go down because some of the liquid water changes into ice (a solid) and the particles get closer together in the beaker. The water level in the beaker will eventually stay the same because some of the liquid water changes into water vapor (a gas) and leaves the beaker.

petroleum? coal maybe?

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
