Have I Got The Answer Right?

Hydrated magnesium sulfate, MgSO4•7H2O, has a molar mass of 246.4 g mol–1.
A student heats 4.928 g of MgSO4•7H2O.
The MgSO4•7H2O loses some of its water of crystallisation forming 3.848g of a solid product. Use this information to determine the formula of the solid product. Show your working.


I got MgSO4*4H2O. If you need to see working please say :smile:
