Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 95PS
Epsom salt is used in tanning leather and in medicine. It is hydrated magnesium sulfate, MgSO4 · 7 H2O. The water of hydration is lost on heating, with the number lost depending on the temperature. Suppose you heat a 1.394-g sample at 100 °C and obtain 0.885 g of a partially hydrated sample, MgSO4 · x H2O. What is the value of x?

With the advent of techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy, it is now possible to “write” with individual atoms by manipulating and arranging atoms on an atomic surface.(A) If the image is prepared on a platinum surface that is exactly 20 platinum atoms high and 14 platinum atoms wide, what is the mass (grams) of the atomic surface? Show all work. [2](B) If the atomic surface were changed to ruthenium atoms and the same surface mass as determined in part (B) is used, what number of ruthenium atoms is needed to construct the surface? Show all work. [2]
4. The “alum” used in cooking is potassium aluminum sulfate hydrate, KAl(SO4)2 ∙ x H2O. To find the value of x, you can heat a sample of the compound to drive off all of the water and leave only KAl(SO4)2.Assume you heat 4.74 g of the hydrated compound and that the sample loses 2.16 g of water. What is the value of x?
