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

How many atoms are in 766.3 grams of Li?
34kurt

1 mol of any substance is made of 6.022 x 10²³ units, these units could be atoms making up elements or molecules making up a compound.

In this case. 1 mol of Li is made of 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Li

The molar mass of Li is 6.94 g/mol

Therefore mass of 1 mol of Li is 6.94 g

In 6.94 g of Li there are - 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

Then in 766.3 g of Li there are - 6.022 x 10²³ atoms / 6.94 g x 766.3 g = 665 x 10²³

There are 6.65 x 10^25 atoms of Li
