Answer is: formula of hydrate is CoCl₂· 6H₂O -c<span>obalt(II) chloride hexahydrate
</span>m(CoCl₂· xH₂O) = 1,62 g.
m(CoCl₂) = 0,88 g.
n(CoCl₂) = m(CoCl₂) ÷ M(CoCl₂)
n(CoCl₂) = 0,88 g ÷ 130 g/mol
n(CoCl₂) = 0,0068 mol.
m(H₂O) = 1,62 g - 0,88 g.
m(H₂O) = 0,74 g.
n(H₂O) = m(H₂O) ÷ m(H₂O)
n(H₂O) = 0,74 g ÷ 18 g/mol
n(H₂O) = 0,041 mol.
n(CoCl₂) : n(H₂O) = 0,0068 mol : 0,041 mol.
n(CoCl₂) : n(H₂O) = 1 : 6.
To calculate the volume of any rectangular shape,
We can simply multiply length to wide and to depth.
Let d be the depth.
15 x 6 x d = 216
d = 216 / 15 / 6
d = 2.4
Therefore the depth is 2.4m
The salt desolves into the water which forms a solution which is called a mixture.
