What leads to a divergence between the real geometry and the ideal geometry predicted by VSEPR theory?A. Lone pair electrons take up more space than bonding electrons. B. Lone pair electrons take up less space than bonding electrons. C. VSEPR theory does not account for bond strength. D. VSEPR theory does not account for polar bonds.

1. for the first question, we must find the mass of the anhydrous salt, mgso₄. the molar mass for mgso₄·7h₂o is 246.47 g/mol, while that of mgso₄ is 120.37 g/mol.7.834 g mgso₄·7h₂o * 1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o/246.47 g * 1 mol mgso₄/1 mol mgso₄·7h₂o * 20.37 g mgso₄/mol = 0.647 g mgso₄

2. mass of water = mass of sample - mass of anhydrous salemass of water = 7.834 - 0.647 = 7.19 gpercent water in hydrate = 7.19/7.834 * 100 = 91.74%
