Q9:

MnSO4.4H2O(s) \rightarrow MnSO4(s) + 4 H2O

Mass of water lost = 2.005g-1.780g = 0.225g

Number of moles of water lost = 0.225g/18.0153g/mol = 0.0124894mol

Number of moles of hydrated salt = moles of water ÷4 = 0.0124894/4 = 0.003122346mol

Mass of hydrated salt = 0.003122346mol× 223.0618g/mol

= 0.6965g (Answer)

Mass percentage of MnSO4.4H2O = (0.6965g/2.005g)×100% = 34.74 %. (Answer)
