Compound name:
- Chlorine monofluoride
Formula: ClF
The two most abundant elements in the universe are HYDROGEN AND HELIUM. Hydrogen is the most abundant element followed by helium.
Hydrogen is the lightest of all element and the first element to be formed, followed by helium which has just two atoms.
Hydrated salts are when salt crystals have water molecules bound. Anhydrous salts are when the water has been removed.
mass of water removed = hydrated salt - anhydrate salt
= 11.75 g - 9.25 g = 2.50 g
number of water moles = 2.50 g / 18 g/mol = 0.139 mol
number of cobalt (II) chloride moles = 9.25 g / 130 g/mol = 0.0712 mol
ratio of water moles to CoCl₂ moles - 0.139 mol / 0.0712 mol = 1.95
rounded off 2 moles of water for every 1 mol of CoCl₂
formula - CoCl₂.2H₂O
name - Cobalt(II) chloride dihydrate
