Magnesium sulfate

hydrated magnesium sulfate. Background: According to George B. Kauffman of Britannica, a hydrate is “any compound containing water in the form of H2O molecules, usually, but not always, with a definite content of water by weight.” Within this, there are two aspects of the compound; the “water of hydration” and the anhydrous salt. When a hydrate is heated, the “water of hydration” leaves the compound as vapor due to the unsteady bonds between the water and salt molecules. The anhydrous salt ends

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to determine both the formula and percent water of hydrated magnesium sulfate. Background: According to George B.

The goal of this lab was to find the empirical formula of Magnesium sulfate hydrate. To determine this formula, we measured and recorded the mass of an empty clay crucible. We then poured a small amount of Epsom salt into the crucible, and then recorded the mass of the filled crucible. We then subtracted the weight of the empty crucible from the weight of the crucible with Epsom salt to determine the mass of the Epsom salt. We then lit a bunsen burner, and manipulated the airflow to allow for the

tube, put the Magnesium Sulfate in the test tube, and measured it before heating. After using a bunsen burner to take the water out of our magnesium sulfate. Following the heating, we let it cooled, and then weighed in mass. My hypothesis is that Magnesium Sulfate would lose the most amount of water because it had the most amount of water while remaining the lightest. Even though my hypothesis wasn’t the greatest explanation, I still ended up being correct that the magnesium sulfate lost the most

produced. In the third experiment Iron oxide was formed. We observed rust on the outside as a result of the oxygen combing with the iron. This can best be described as synthesis. In the next experiment we discovered that calcium chloride and magnesium Sulfate produce a substance that looks like milk after it foams. As a result, we contemplated that this was an example of double- replacement. In reaction 5 with Zinc and hydrochloric acid we saw that the new product was introduced through bubbling.

mineral compound originate in water having high levels of magnesium and sulfate. It is named “salt” because it appears like salt crystals. In

Prenatal Care and Preterm Births In the last 20 years the hopes of survival for neonates have seen significant increase, almost all of the causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity have decreased. There is only one threat unmoved, still standing above the rest- Preterm birth. Prematurity or preterm birth is defined as the birth of any child between 20-37 weeks of gestation. Delivery prior to 20 weeks of gestation is considered a Natural abortion.1 The survival rate of low birth weight

the most reactive metal, reacted with water, hydrochloric acid, Copper (II) Sulfate, and Magnesium Chloride. The second most reactive metal was Zinc, which reacted with hydrochloric acid, Copper (II) Sulfate, and Magnesium Chloride. The third most reactive metal was Magnesium, which reacted with Hydrochloric Acid and Copper (II) Sulfate. The least reactive metal was Copper, which reacted with Hydrochloric acid and Zinc Sulfate. However, after comparing the results of the experiment to the published

molecules creating an anhydrous salt. Hydrated salts that lose water molecules to the atmosphere without a heat source are known as efflorescent. Salts that readily absorb water are called deliquescent. An example of an anhydrous salt would be Magnesium Sulfate or also known as Epsom Salt. Epsom salt separates under heating and becomes
