Did you hear about the claustrophobic astronaut?
0.81 moles
Explanation:
cobalt chloride when dissolved in water dissociate into cobalt and chloride ions as shown;
CoCl₂ (s) → [Co²⁺](aq) + 2[Cl⁻] (aq)
The mole ratio between CoCl₂ and [Co²⁺] is 1 ; 1 while the mole ratio between CoCl₂ and [Cl⁻] is 1 : 2
Therefore; 0.27 moles of CoCl₂ will form;
(1 * 0.27) = 0.27 moles of [Co²⁺] ions
(2 * 0.27) = 0.54 moles of [Cl⁻] ions
Total moles of dissociated ions are;
0.27 + 0.54
= 0.81 moles
When a chemical reaction releases energy it is called <em>Exothe</em><em>rmic</em><em> </em><em>React</em><em>ion</em><em>.</em>

The electrons fill energy levels from the lowest available energy level, based of three typical rules.
1) Follow Aufbau rule: fill from lower to higher energy levels (1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p)
2) Pauly exclusion principle: two electrons can not have the same four quantum numbers
3) Hund rule: if the orbitals have the same energy, the electrons must go to different orbitals before two occupies the same orbital.
