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):
Dividing:
So the molecular formula will be:
2) The water
The water's molecular weight is M=18 :
Bonding with the Co:
The complete formula of the hydrate:
Because just like compounds, the table of chemicals can be looked at as having all the different pieces of it. So the different chemicals are the different "elements" to the periodic table.
Elements that form diatomic molecules, or molecules of two atoms each, are commonly found on the right side of the periodic table.
The answer is 341.7 g.
(1) Calculate the molar mass (M) of CaCl2 which is the sum of atomic masses (A) of elements:
M(CaCl2) = A(Ca) + 2A(Cl)
A(Ca) = 40.1 g/mol
A(Cl) = 35.45 g/mol
M(CaCl2) = 40.1 + 2 * 35.45 = 40.1 + 70.9 = 111 g/mol
(2) Calculate in how many moles are 535 g:
M(CaCl2) = 111 g/mol
111g : 1mol = 535 g : xmol
x = 535 g * 1mol : 111g = 4.82 mol
(3) Calculate how many grams of Cl are in 4.82 mol:
A(Cl) = 35.45 g/mol
2A(Cl) = 2 * 35.45 = 70.9 g/mol
70.9 g : 1 mol = x : 4.82 mol
x = 70.9 g * 4.82 mol : 1 mol = 341.7 g
