I believe it is still A with the current state of things, but there is talk in the church of reforming to allow women priests.
The value of X is 2
The total amount of sample taken is 2.00 g
The amount of sample left in the oven after drying is 1.565g
The amount of sample lost (mass of water driven out) = Total sample-Anhydrous salt left in the oven
= 2.00 - 1.565
= 0.435 grams
The moles of anhydrous salt present in the hydrate = 1.565g/129.83g/mol = 0.01205
The moles of water present in the hydrate = 0.4350g/18.01g/mol = 0.02415
Therefore the ratio of these two are in 1:2 ratio
The complete chemical reaction is CoCl2.2H20

Answer is: The atomic size of the chlorine ion is larger than the size of the chlorine atom.
Covalent radii of chlorine atom (Cl) is 0.099 nm and ionic radii of chlorine anion (Cl⁻) is 0.181 nm.
Difference between an chlorine atom and chlorine anion is the number of electrons that surround the nucleus.
Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and chlorine anion has 18 electrons.
