Approved Tutor Answer7 Years ago1 mole of molecules contain 6.022x10^23 molecules (Avogadro's number)
Moles of H2O = 2.36× 10^23 / 6.022x10^23
= 0.392 moles
Molar mass of H2O = 18
Mass of H2O = 0.392x18 = 7.05g
Mass of Na2SO4 = 15 – 7.05 = 7.95g
Molar mass of Na2SO4 = 23x2 + 32 + 16x4 = 142
Moles of Na2SO4 = 7.95/142 = 0.0556
Mole ratio:
Na2SO4 = 0.0556/0.0556 = 1
H2O = 0.392/0.0556 = 7
H2O = 0.392/0.0556 = 7
The value of x = 7
The formula of the compound is: Na2SO4 .7 H2O
