    5.45 g is 0.0221 moles of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate.

    Explanation:

    The molecular formula of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is Mg SO₄·7H₂O.

    The molar mass of this compound is calculated adding the molar mass of each element:

    Mg: 24. 3 g

    S: 32. 1 g

    O: 16 g

    H: 1 g

    Then the mass of a mole of Mg SO₄·7H₂O is:

    24.3 g + 32.1 g + 4 (16 g) + 7 (2 (1) + 16) = 246.4 g.

    if 246.4 g is 1 mole of Mg SO₄·7H₂O, then 5.45 g will be:

    5.45 g * (1 mol / 246.4 g) = 0.0221 mol.
