assume 100 grams
Mg 24 grams, ....
Next convert each mass to moles:
Mg=24/24=about 1 mole (do it accurately).
Next, for each of the elments, and water, divide the moles of each by the lowest moles of any element (or water).
The remaining numbers are the mole ratio in the compound
Mg<sub>a</sub>S<sub>b</sub>O<sub>c</sub>.DH2O
so a,b, c and d have to be whole numbers....
