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 =
The answer is <span>(3) 3 × 12.4 hours
</span>
To calculate this, we will use two equations:
where:
<span>n - number of half-lives
</span>x - remained amount of the sample, in decimals
<span>
- half-life length
</span>t - total time elapsed.
First, we have to calculate x and n. x is <span>remained amount of the sample, so if at the beginning were 16 grams of potassium-42, and now it remained 2 grams, then x is:
2 grams : x % = 16 grams : 100 %
x = 2 grams </span>× 100 percent ÷ 16 grams
x = 12.5% = 0.125
Thus:
<span>

It is known that the half-life of potassium-42 is 12.36 ≈ 12.4 hours.
Thus:

</span>
Therefore, it must elapse 3 × 12.4 hours <span>before 16 grams of potassium-42 decays, leaving 2 grams of the original isotope</span>
