Please help I have Chemistry exam tomorrow. 3. A sample of 2g of hydrated crystals of Magnesium sulphate (MgSO4.xH2O), with
an Mr, of 246. The crystals were heated on low flame, and it was found that 1.02g
water was present in the sample. Calculate the total mass of water present in the
hydrated crystal mentioned above, and determine the value of x.​

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.

i believe the answer is 5,000

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
