The question has missing information, the complete question is:

Cobalt(II) chloride forms several hydrates with the general formula CoCl₂.xH₂O, where x is an integer. If the hydrate is heated, the water can be driven off, leaving pure CoCl₂ behind. Suppose a sample of a certain hydrate is heated until all the water is removed, and it's found that the mass of the sample decreases by 22.0%. Which hydrate is it? That is, what is x?

Answer:

CoCl₂.26H₂O

Explanation:

The molar masses of the compounds that forms the hydrate are:

Co = 59 g/mol

Cl = 35.5 g/mol

H = 1 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

The molar mass of CoCl₂ is 130 g/mol and of H₂O is 18 g/mol, thus for the hydrate, it will be 130 + 18x g/mol.

Let's suppose 1 mol of the compound. Thus, the mass of the hydrate is: 130 + 18x, and the mass of CoCl₂ will be 130 g. Because the mass decreassed by 22.0% :

0.22*(130 + 18x) = 130

130 + 18x = 590.91

18x = 460.91

x ≅ 26

Thus, the hydrate is CoCl₂.26H₂O

Answer:

It is cobalt (II) chloride dihydrate, CoCl2.2H2O.

X = 2

Explanation:

We can calculate the value of x using the formula:

RMM of nH2O/RMM of anhydrous salt = mass of water expelled or absorbed/mass of anhydrous salt

Where RMM of nH2O= relative molecular mass of nH2O =n[ (1 X 2) + 16 ]= 18n where n = number of moles of water of crystallization = x

RMM of anhydrous salt= RMM of CoCl2= 58.9+(35.5 X 2) = 129.9

Since the mass of the hydrated salt decreased by 22%, and assuming we have 100g of original sample,

Mass of water expelled = 22g

And (100-22)g of anhydrous salt will remain after heating off all the water, so,

Mass of anhydrous salt = 78g

Substituting the values into the formula,

18n/129.9 = 22/78

18n X 78 = 129.9 X 22

1404n = 2857.8

n = 2857.8/1404

n = 2.035470085

n = 2 ( to the nearest whole number )

You can check if your answer is correct by using this formula to calculate the percentage of water of crystallization in CoCl2.2H2O:

% of water of crystallization = (mass of water expelled/mass of hydrated salt) X 100

Where mass of water expelled = mass of 2H2O = 2.035470085 X 18 = 36.63846154

Mass of hydrated salt = mass of CoCl2.2H2O = 129.9 + 36.63846154 = 166.5384615.

Substituting into the formula we have

% of water of crystallization = ( 36.63846154/166.5384615) X 100.

% of water of crystallization = 0.22 X 100 = 22%.

Notice that we used the actual value of the number of moles of water of crystallization in calculating the percentage to minimize errors and avoid approximate percentage composition values. But we used 2 for the formula of the hydrated salt because we had to round off the value to the nearest whole number

A 0. 462 g sample of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water and titrated with 0. 180 m koh. what is the molar mass of the acid
Len [333]

The molar mass of the acid if 28. 5 ml of the koh solution is required to neutralize the sample is 90.23g/mol.

<h3>For the calculation of molarity of solution</h3>

Molarity = (moles of solute/volume of solution) × 1000

Given,

Molarity of KOH solution = 0.180 M

Volume of solution = 28.5 mL

0.180 = (moles of KOH/ 28.5) × 1000

Moles = (0.18× 28.5)/1000

= 0.00513 mol

<h3>Chemical equation for the reaction</h3>

HA + KOH ------- KA + H2O

1 moles of KOH reacts with 1 moles of HA.

So, 0.00513 moles of KOH react with 0.00513 moles of HA.

<h3>To calculate the molar mass for given number of moles</h3>

Number of moles= given mass/ Molar mass

Given,

Mass of HA = 0.462 g

Moles of HA = 0.00512 mol

0.00512 = 0.462/ Molar mass

Molar mass = 90.23 g/ mol.

Thus the molar mass of HA required to neutralize the 28.5 mL of KOH is 90.23g/mol.

How many moles of Ca(OH)2 are in 3.5kg of Ca(OH)2? Answer in units of mole
Kobotan [32]
First, you need to convert kg to g. 
So, 1 kg =1000g.
3.5 x 1000 = 3500g Ca(OH)2

We need to know the molar mass of Ca(OH)2. 
Ca= 40.08 g
O=2(15.999)
H=2(1.0079)

Add them all together and you get 74.0938 g.

Put it in the formula from mass to moles. 

# of moles = grams Ca(OH)2 x 1 mol Ca(OH)2
                                                  --------------------
                                                  molar mass Ca(OH)2

3500 g Ca(OH)2 x 1 mol Ca(OH)2
                              ---------------------
                             74.0938 g Ca(OH)2

So divide 1/74.0938 and multiply by 3500.

You will get about 47.24 moles Ca(OH)2.

Hope this helps! :)

The properties of an unknown substance can be compared to the properties of a known substance to identify the unknown substance.
Nitella [24]

Answer:  Physical properties are those that can be determined or measured without changing the composition or identity of the substance. These properties include color, odor, taste, density, melting point, boiling point, conductivity, and hardness.

Explaination:

By using Physical properties unknown substance can be identified as it involves determination of a substance with out changing their composition or property include color, odor, taste, density, melting point etc.

What are the difference between physical and chemical property ?

Chemical properties can be observed or measured when a substance undergoes any type of changes chemically while Physical properties can be observed without changing anything.

In chemical property, chemical reaction is conducted to show the property of the substance while in physical property No chemical reaction occur.

Chemical properties related to chemical bonds while Physical properties do not have such a relationship.

Chemical properties include radioactivity, toxicity, flammability, heat of combustion,  etc. while physical properties include Molecular weight, boiling point, melting point, freezing point, volume, mass, length, density shape, solubility, etc.
