Answer: On losing 6 moles of water, cobalt chloride forms unstable violet-coloured ions, before generating its stable blue-coloured anhydrous form.

Explanation:

The hydrated cobalt chloride loses its 6 water of crystallization, then dissociates into ions: cobalt ions and chlorine ions that appear violet, and quickly combined to form the stable anhydrous Cobalt chloride with blue colour.

A person weighed 15 pennies on a balance and recorded the following masses:
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A)  yes

B) The average mass of 12 pennies should be expressed as

( 3.131 + 3.129 + -------- X12 ) g /  12

where X12 = is the mass of the 12th penny

Explanation:

A) I think the the Bureau of Mint changed the way it made pennies because from the experiment and observation carried out on 15 different pennies it can be seen that they had different weights and this difference is associated with the period/time of production of the different pennies,

B ) The average mass of any object should be expressed in the si unit of mass and not having ($) sign attached to the value instead it should be expressed in grams or kilograms (s.i unit of mass )

The average mass of 12 pennies should be expressed as

( 3.131 + 3.129 + -------- X12 ) g /  12

where X12 = is the mass of the 12th penny

kodGreya [7K]

Answer is: (4) emits energy as it moves to a lower energy state.

Atom emits a characteristic set of discrete wavelengths, according to its electronic energy levels.

Emission spectrum of a chemical element is the spectrum of frequencies emitted due to an atom making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state.  

Each transition has a specific energy difference.  

Each element's emission spectrum is unique.
