<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 :)

What is the molecular shape of N2O2?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

If you're just looking at the Lewis Structure from the perspective of the octet rule, it does appear that the structure is correct. Dinitrogen always has a lone pair of electrons which could conceivably be used for dative bonding as you suggest. So from that perspective there appears to be nothing wrong at all - other than that it doesn't exist in nature in this way.

If 450.0 mL of a 0.500 M solution is mixed with 200.0 mL of water, what is the molarity of the new
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Answer: A) .346 M

Explanation:

Given:

- 450 mL

- .5 M soln

-200 mL water

1) Convert mL to L

450 mL = .45 L

200 mL = .2 L

2) Find mols in solution

.5 M = x/.45 L

x = .225 mol

3) Find total volume of solution

.45 L + .2 L =.65 L

4) Find new molarity

molarity (M) = mols solute/ L solution

y = .225 mol (from step 2)/ .65 L (from step 3)

y = .346 M

Answer: A) .346 M
