Expert Solution
Step 1: Given data

Given:

Mass of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) = 5.55 g
Mass of water (H2O) = 53.62 g
Initial temperature (before dissolution) open parentheses straight T subscript straight i close parentheses=space 21.7 space degree straight C space
Final temperature (after dissolution) open parentheses straight T subscript straight f close parentheses25.6 space degree straight C

Calculate the heat transferred to the solution.

Heat transfer occurs from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and it will continue until thermal equilibrium is reached, meaning the temperatures become equal.
