Because this reaction results in a solution containing free ions; a strong strong acid (due to the Cl) and a strong base (due to the Mg). Strong acids and strong bases are good conductors.

(Do note that the general solution is pretty much neutral, just slightly acidic as Cl forms a stronger acid than the base formed by Mg)

What is the value of x When a 1.63 g sample of MgCl2xH2O is heated to remove all water a mass of 0.762 g remains?

You begin with 1.63 g of MgCl2•xH2O. You end up with 0.762 g MgCl2. That means you lost 1.63 - 0.762 = 0.87 g of H2O. 0.762 g MgCl2 / 95.21 g (molar mass) = .00800 mol MgCl2 0.87 g H2O / 18.02 g (molar mass) = .048 mol H2O x = mol solute / mol solvent x = .048 mol H2O / .00800 mol MgCl2 x = 6 MgCl2•6H2O
