A substance X has a melting point of 649 C a boiling point of 1107 C and id insoluble in water. State an additional test that could b done to find out whether substance X is an ionic compound

Electrical Conductivity of the substance

Explanation:

Ionic substances do not conduct electricity in their solid state however they are good conductor of electricity when dissolved in water or in their molten state.

A test can be carried out to see if the substance matches the property above.

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
