Once a chemical bond is formed, the atoms are rearranged to form a stronger bond, affecting the hardness, malleability, etc. The stronger the bond, the easier a substance will break, or, if its a liquid, it will resist seperation.
The question has missing information, the complete question is:
Cobalt(II) chloride forms several hydrates with the general formula CoCl₂.xH₂O, where x is an integer. If the hydrate is heated, the water can be driven off, leaving pure CoCl₂ behind. Suppose a sample of a certain hydrate is heated until all the water is removed, and it's found that the mass of the sample decreases by 22.0%. Which hydrate is it? That is, what is x?
Answer:
CoCl₂.26H₂O
Explanation:
The molar masses of the compounds that forms the hydrate are:
Co = 59 g/mol
Cl = 35.5 g/mol
H = 1 g/mol
O = 16 g/mol
The molar mass of CoCl₂ is 130 g/mol and of H₂O is 18 g/mol, thus for the hydrate, it will be 130 + 18x g/mol.
Let's suppose 1 mol of the compound. Thus, the mass of the hydrate is: 130 + 18x, and the mass of CoCl₂ will be 130 g. Because the mass decreassed by 22.0% :
0.22*(130 + 18x) = 130
130 + 18x = 590.91
18x = 460.91
x ≅ 26
Thus, the hydrate is CoCl₂.26H₂O
Glucose and Galactose both have the same molecular formula, C6H12O6, but in the body, galactose must be first converted to glucose to make energy. The difference<span> is their </span>structures

Explanation:
Aluminum hydroxide is used as an antacid to counteract hyper acidity associated with the gastritis and peptic ulcer disease which includes duodenal ulcer and gastric ulcer and hiatal hernia.
<u>
Oral dosage (oral suspension)
</u>
Adults
Recommended OTC dose of aluminum hydroxide is 10 mL PO 5—6 times per day, after having meals and at bedtime.
Children
Recommended OTC dose of aluminum hydroxide is 5—15 mL PO every 3—6 hours, or 1 and 3 hours after having meals and at bedtime.
Infants
Recommended OTC dose of aluminum hydroxide is 1—2 mL/kg PO per dose and should be given 1—3 hours after having meals and at bedtime.
