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.

removal of SO2

with the reaction equation you see that 2 moles of SO2 correspond to 2 moles CaCO3

Mw: CaCO3 =40+12+3*16=100 for SO2 =32+2*16=64
so 64g of SO2 correspond to 100g CaCO3

1 Tonne = 10^6g

and mass CaCO3 = 100=10^6/64 =1562500g = 1,5625 tonne

15)Na2SO4 has a molecular weight of142
Na2SO4
has a molecular weight of 142=5/2.2=322g
so the mass of nH2O =322-142=180
and knowing masS H2O 18 , you find n=10

16)the mass of the first salt (Mg) is 120 +126 =246
and the mass of the fraction of water is 126/246 =0.512
for the second (Cu) 159.5 +90= 249.5
fraction of water is 90/249.5=0.360

the mass of water in the mixture is 5-3 =2g =0.4

so you have if x is the fraction of Mg salt (then (1-x) is fraction of Cu salt)

0.4 = 0.512x+ 0.36(1-x)

0.4 -0.36= 0.152x

x=0.26 for Mg and 0.74 for Cu

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.
