Answer

$602g$ of epsom salts $(MgSO_4)$.

Work Step by Step

1. Determine the molar mass of this compound $(MgSO_4)$: $Mg: 24.31g +$ $S: 32.07g +$ $O: 16.00g * 4= 64.00g$ = 120.38g/mol 2. Calculate the mass, using the molar mass as a conversion factor $ 5.00 mole \times \frac{ 120.38g}{1mole} = 602 g$
