The data below apply to questions 13 - 18. A sample is believed to consist of Epsom Salt, MgSO47H2O. However, it may not be pure. The sample was analyzed by weighing it, heating it to drive off water, and weighing it again. Using these data, calculate the answers to questions 10 - 15. (You may want to work the answers out on paper before entering them. If you use scientific notation, enter it in "calculator" format, i. e. "1.234e-5") Mass of empty beaker: 30.453 g Mass of beaker plus sample, before heating: 31.909 g Mass of beaker plus sample, after heating: 31.176 g
