It is Cobalt(II)chloride dihydrate. The value of x is 2.

First, we have to determine the mass of H₂O that was evaporated upon heating which will be = 2.00g - 1.56 g

                                 = 0.435 g

So,

CoCl₂ + x.H₂O → CoCl₂.xH₂O

Molecular mass of CoCl₂ = 129.839 g/mol

Molecular mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol

Weight of sample after heating = 1.565 g

Weight of H₂O evaporated = 0.435 g

Hence,

           18x = \frac{129.839X0.435}{1.565} \\x = \frac{55.48}{28.17} \\x = 1.9

           x ≈ 2

So, it is Cobalt(II)chloride dihydrate.

Molar mass in sulfuric acid
EleoNora [17]

Hey there!

Sulfuric acid: H₂SO₄

H: 2 x 1.008 = 2.016

S: 1 x 32.065 = 32.065

O: 4 x 16 = 64

--------------------------------

                 98.081 g/mol

The molar mass of sulfuric acid is 98.081 g/mol.

Hope this helps!

Unstable isotopes occur when the strong force is unable to overcome the _________.
Alecsey [184]
Unstable isotopes occur when the strong force is unable to overcome the <span> <span>electrostatic force.</span></span><span>
There are no stable isotopes in the elements  at the upper end of the periodic table, which clearly demonstrates the limit of the ability of the nuclear binding energy or the residual strong force,  to overcome the electrostatic repulsion of all those protons in the nucleus.
