12.7 grams of magnesium chloride is dissolved into water in a flask and set aside for an experiment. The scientist forgets about the solution and the sunlight evaporates it. She needs at least 11 grams of magnesium chloride to continue the experiment. Will she be able to recover enough magnesium chloride from the original flask to continue the experiment

Answer:

Yes, she will be able to recover enough magnesium chloride from the original flask to continue the experiment

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution prepared by the scientist contains 12.7g of magnesium chloride. The sunlight will evaporate only the water present. When the volume decreases, the magnesium chloride precipitates. When all water evaporates, all the solute, magnesium chloride precipitates totally.

That means she will recover the 12.7g of magnesium chloride.
