If Epsom Salt is heated too much a gray product is formed and sulfur trioxide gas is given off. What is the balanced equation?

MgSO4.7H2O ->MgSO4+ 7H2O
MgSO4 --> MgO + SO3

E2SO4
E2SO4 > SO3 + E2O
(Epsom Salts) > (Sulfur Trioxide) + (DiEpsom Oxide)
Good Luck.

If you remove the water of crystallisation from epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) by heating it, you are left with Magnesium oxide (your grey powder) and sulphur trioxide is given off as a gas.
MgSO4=MgO+SO3

Epsom salt is the common name for hydrated magnesium sulphate. MgSO4.7H2O, (not the anhydrous form). The water of crystalisation is removed by heating to form MgSO4 and then the following reaction takes place.
MgSO4 --------- MgO + SO3

from the stoichiometric equation of reaction: no. of mole of MgSO4.7H2O = no. of mole of BaCl2 from the parameters given: no. of mole of BaCl2 = 0.125x50.0/1000 = 0.00625moles. subsequently, no. of mole of MgSO4.7H2O = 0.00625moles mass (in gram) of MgSO4.7H2O = 0.00625 x molar mass of MgSO4.7H2O. = (0.00625 x 246)g = a million.54g

MgSO4*7H2O
MgSO4*7H2O(s)--heat-->MgO(s)
+SO3(g)+7H2O(l)
