The given mass of cobalt chloride hydrate = 2.055 g
A sample of cobalt chloride hydrate was heated to drive off waters of hydration and the anhydrate was weighed.
The mass of anhydrous cobalt chloride = 1.121 g anhydrate.
The mass of water lost during heating = 2.055 g - 1.121 g = 0.934 g
Converting mass of water of hydration present in the hydrate to moles using molar mass:
Mass of water = 0.934 g
Molar mass of water = 18.0 g/mol
Moles of water = 
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
- The correct option is C.
- Formation of a precipitate
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
During a chemical reaction, new substances are formed known as a products, mostly reaction occur and their product is obtained as precipitates.
<u><em>Example</em></u>
Arylidene-2-thiobarbituric acid is obtained as precipitates when aldehyde and thiobarbituric acid react to each other.
melting of a substance
It is just indication of physical changes, like melting of ice, composition remained same as before.
boiling of a substance
It is just indication of physical changes, like boiling of water into vapors, composition remained same as before.
freezing of a substance
It is just indication of physical changes, like freezing of water into ice, composition remained same as before
Zn⁰ ----> Zn⁺² + 2e⁻ - oxidation
Hg⁺² + 2e⁻ ----> Hg⁰ - reduction
Zn loses 2 moles of electrons , and Hg gains 2 mole of electrons.
So, number of moles of electrons gained and lost during reaction is equal.
