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.

How many moles of PCl5 can be produced from 53.0 g of Cl2 (and excess P4)?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

0.299 moles of PCl5

Explanation:

First form an equation based of given information: P4 + Cl2= 4PCl5

Next balance it: P4 + 10Cl2 = 4PCl5

Take your given value (53.0g of Cl2) and divide it by its molar mass to get moles of Cl2: 53.0g/70.906g = 0.747 moles Cl2

Then, multiply by the molar ratio (10Cl2 to 4PCl5): (0.747 x 4 mol PCl5)/10 mol Cl2 = 0.299 moles PCl5
