CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH ANSWERS!!!

The pollutant sulphur dioxide can removed from the air by reaction with calcium carbonate in the presence of oxygen. What mass of calcium carbonate is needed to remove 1 tonne of sulphur dioxide?

2 CaCO3 + 2 SO2 + O2  2 CaSO4 + 2 CO2

15) 5.00 g of hydrated sodium sulphate crystals (Na2SO4.nH2O) gave 2.20 g of anhydrous sodium sulphate on heating to constant mass. Work out the relative molecular mass (Mr) of the hydrated sodium sulphate and the value of n.
Na2SO4.nH2O  Na2SO4 + n H2O

16)5.00 g of a mixture of MgSO4.7H2O and CuSO4.5H2O was heated at 120C until a mixture of the anhydrous salts was formed, which weighed 3.00 g. Calculate the percentage by mass of MgSO4.7H2O in the mixture.

2CaCO3 + 2SO2 + O2 -> 2CaSO4 + 2CO2

Molar Mass of CaCO3 = 100
Molar Mass of SO2 = 64

1 tonne = 1000 kg = 10^6 g

So, moles of SO2 = 10^6/64

Thus mass of CaCO3 = 10^6 x 100/64 g = 1.56 x 10^6 g

15) 5-2.2 = 2.8 g of water was released

This is equal to 2.8/18 = 0.1556 mole of water

Moles of Na2SO4 = 2.2/(2x23+32+64) = 2.2/142 = 0.01549

So, 0.01549 = 0.1556/n

or n = 10 (approx)

16) Let moles of MgSO4 = x

and those of CuSO4 = y

Molar Mass of MgSO4 = 120
Molar Mass of CuSO4 = 159.5

So, 120x + 159.5y = 3

and 120x + 7x * 18 + 159.5y + 5y*18 = 5

Solve for x and y.
