<u>Answer:</u> The percent by mass of water in the hydrate is 45.4 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the heating of hydrated cobalt (II) chloride follows:

CoCl_2.xH_2O\rightarrow CaCl_2+xH_2O

We are given:

Mass of hydrated cobalt (II) chloride = 5.22 g

Mass of anhydrous cobalt (II) chloride = 2.85 g

Mass of water released = (5.22 - 2.85)g = 2.37 g

To calculate the mass percentage of water in the hydrate, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of water}=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{\text{Mass of hydrated cobalt (II) chloride}}\times 100

Mass of hydrated cobalt (II) chloride = 5.22 g

Mass of water = 2.37 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of water}=\frac{2.37g}{5.22g}\times 100=45.4\%

Hence, the percent by mass of water in the hydrate is 45.4 %

Answer:
mass of water in hydrate = 2.37 grams

Explanation:
The mass of the hydrated cobalt (III) chloride is the summation of the salt and the water it contains.
This means that:
Total mass of sample = mass of salt + mass of water

Now, we are given that:
total mass of sample = 5.22 grams
mass of salt = mass of sample after heating = 2.85 grams

Substitute to get the mass of water as follows:
5.22 = mass of water in hydrate + 2.85
mass of water in hydrate = 5.22 - 2.85
mass of water in hydrate = 2.37 grams

Hope this helps :)

How many formula units are contained in 23.5 g of Sb2S3
wolverine [178]
The molar mass of Sb2S3 is approximately equal to 339.7 g/mol. We calculate the number of moles of Sb2S3 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. 
                                     n = 23.5 g / (339.7 g/mol)
                                        n = 0.0692 mols
To calculate for the number of formula units, we multiply the number of mols by the Avogadro's number, 
                            number of formula units = (0.0692 mols)(6.022 x 10^3)
                                                   = 4.167 x 10^22 formula units

When pH changes from 6 to 3, how many times does acidity increase?
photoshop1234 [79]

Since a pH of 3 is three numbers higher than a pH of 6, we can find the change in acidity by taking 10 to the third power. The solution with a pH of 3 is 1000 times more acidic than the solution with a pH of 6.

Laser fusion Group of answer choices uses chemical reactions to produce energy uses nuclear reactions to produce energy implodes
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Uses nuclear reactions to produce energy

Implodes a fuel pellet

Explanation:

Laser fusion is a method of initiating nuclear fusion reactions through heating, and compressing fuel pellets containing deuterium and tritium using high energy density laser beams. Lase fusion is also known as inertial confinement fusion and the energy produced by the process is known as Laser Inertial Fusion Energy, LIFE.

During the process of laser fusion, small pellets of deuterium-tritium (DT) isotopes mixture are fed into a blast chamber where they are compressed to high densities using a number of amplified laser beams in the chamber.

The high energy density of the beams as well as the heat produced due to compression, induces the thermonuclear explosion ignition resulting in the production of high energetic products such as charged particles, x-rays and neutrons. The energy produced is absorbed and stored as heat in a blanket that is then used in a steam thermal cycle to generate electrical power.

There are two methods of compression of the DT pellet: direct and indirect-drive laser fusions.

However, there are a number of limitations to energy production by this process. One limitation is that the process is extremely inefficient in energy energy production. Also, the heat produced by the flashtubes results innthe deformation of the laser glass.
