To solve the problem, we need to determine the simplest formula of the anhydrous salt and the crystalline salt based on the given percentage compositions and the mass loss upon dehydration. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the mass of each element in 100 g of anhydrous salt Given the percentage composition of the anhydrous salt: - Aluminum (Al) = 10.5% - Potassium (K) = 15.1% - Sulfur (S) = 24.8% - Iodine (I) = 49.6% ...
