Your lab partner accidentally mixed some sodium chloride with your sample of Epsom salts (M9SO.·7H2O). You want to make a standard solution of magnesium ion, and this is the only sample of a magnesium salt you have. To determine the amount of magnesium salt in the mixture, you heat 100.00 g to drive off the water of hydration and find that the anhydrous mixture has a mass of 59.25 g. What is the mass in grams of the original salt mixture that you must add to 1.000 L of water to make a 0.1000 M solution of Mg2+ ion?

Question
Your lab partner accidentally mixed some sodium chloride with
your sample of Epsom salts (M9SO.-7H2O). You want to make a
standard solution of magnesium ion, and this is the only sample
of a magnesium salt you have. To determine the amount of
magnesium salt in the mixture, you heat 100.00 g to drive off the
water of hydration and find that the anhydrous mixture has a
mass of 59.25 g. What is the mass in grams of the original salt
mixture that you must add to 1.000 L of water to make a 0.1000
M solution of Mg2+ ion?
