Answer:
The solution has 0.00994 moles of Co[H2O]6Cl2
Explanation:
Complete question: Given the starting solution had a concentration of 1.25 M, how many moles of Co[H2O]6Cl2 were available in the amount of starting solution you used?
mL= 7.95
Step 1: Data given
Concentration of the starting solution = 1.25 M
Starting solution = Co[H2O]6Cl2
Step 2: Calculate molar mass of Co[H2O]6Cl2
Atomic mass of Co = 58.93 g/mol
Atomic mass of H = 1.01 g/mol
Atomic mass of O = 16.00 g/mol
atomic mass of Cl = 35.45 g/mol
Molar mass of Co[H2O]6Cl2 =
1*58.93 + 12*1.01 + 6*16.00 + 2*35.45 = 237.95 g/mol
Step 3: Calculate number of moles
C = n/v
⇒with C = the Concentration of the starting solution = 1.25 M
⇒with n= the number of moles = to be determined
⇒with v = the volume = 7.95 mL = 0.00795 L
n = C * V
n = 1.25 M * 0.00795 L
n = 0.00994 moles
The solution has 0.00994 moles of Co[H2O]6Cl2
