It is often possible to change a hydrate into an anhydrous compound by heating it to drive off the water (dehydration). Write an equation that shows the dehydration of manganese(II) sulfate monohydrate .

Respuesta :

Answer:

Yes is possible

Explanation:

MnSO4*7H2O(s) → MnSO4(s) + 7H2O(g)

This should be an endothermic reaction. The water molecules are interacting with the Mn2+ and SO42- ions within the crystal lattice of the compound. You must overcome those interactions, and so that would require the input of energy.
