Answer:

Explanation:

From the 1 g sample you have:

0.546 grams of cobalt chloride

1-0.546=0.454 grams of water

Now:

1) The salt

Of the 0.546 g, 0.248 g are cobalt (Mr=58.9) and the rest id Cl (Mr=35.45):

n_{Co}=\frac{0.248 g}{58.9 g/mol}=4.21*10^{-3}mol

n_{Cl}=\frac{0.298 g}{35.45g/mol}=8.4*10^{-3}mol

Dividing:

\frac{n_{Cl}}{n_{Co}}=\frac{8.4*10^{-3}mol}{4.21*10^{-3}mol}=2

So the molecular formula will be:

CoCl_2

2) The water

The water's molecular weight is M=18 :

n_{w}=\frac{0.454g}{18g/mol}=0.025 mol

Bonding with the Co:

\frac{n_{w}}{n_{Co}}=\frac{0.025mol}{4.21*10^{-3}mol}=6

The complete formula of the hydrate:

CoCl_2*6 H_2O

What is the difference between cyclic compound and straight chain compound in hydrocarbons reaction​
fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

Cyclic Hydrocarbons

A cyclic hydrocarbon is a hydrocarbon in which the carbon chain joins to itself in a ring. A cycloalkane is a cyclic hydrocarbon in which all of the carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. Like other alkanes, cycloalkanes are saturated compounds. Cycloalkanes have the general formula CnH2nCnH2n. The simplest cycloalkane is cyclopropane, a three-carbon ring.

All of the following statements concerning crystal field theory are true EXCEPT Group of answer choices in an isolated atom or i
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

low-spin complexes contain the maximum number of unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

In the crystal field theory, the magnitude of crystal field splitting and the pairing energy determines whether a complex will be low spin or high spin.

Low spin complexes often have greater magnitude of crystal field splitting energy than low spin complexes.

High spin complexes have maximum number of unpaired electrons(most of the electrons are unpaired) while low spin complexes have a minimum number of unpaired electrons in a complex(most of the electrons are paired).

How many molecules of co2 would there be in 30 moles of co2
rjkz [21]

Answer:

= 1.806 × 10^25 molecules.

Explanation:

1 mole of CO2 contains 6.02 × 10^23 molecules

30 moles of CO2 will contain ( 30 × 6.02 × 10^23 )

= 1.806 × 10^25 molecules.
