    Yes is possible

    Explanation:

    MnSO4*7H2O (s) → MnSO4 (s) + 7H2O (g)

    This should be an endothermic reaction. The water molecules are interacting with the Mn2 + and SO42 - ions within the crystal lattice of the compound. You must overcome those interactions, and so that would require the input of energy.
