In a reaction very like the Mg & HCl experiment, 1.40 grams of solid manganese (Mn NOT Mg) is added to just enough sulfuric acid (H.SO.) to react with all the manganese. When all the hydrogen gas created in the reaction bubbles off, the solution is dried in an oven leaving only crystals of a manganese (???—you don't know the charge) sulfate compound (it consists of only manganese and sulfate you need to figure out the subscripts of the formula). When the mass of the beaker is subtracted, the mass of the compound is found to be 10.00 grams.
a. Determine the empirical formula of the compound produced in this single replacement reaction.
