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

Identify the covalent compounds based on the names of the compounds. barium nitrate dinitrogen tetroxide boron trifluoride ammon
noname [10]

Covalent compounds are composed of atoms that are linked via covalent bonds i.e. bonds formed by mutual sharing of electrons. This is in complete contrast to ionic compounds which are held together by ionic bonds, i.e. bonds formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to the other.

In the given examples we have:

Barium nitrate: Ba(NO3)2 - Ionic

Dinitrogen tetroxide: N2O4- Covalent

Boron trifluoride: BF3-Covalent

Ammonium sulfate: (NH4)2SO4- Ionic

Carbon tetrachloride: CCl4- Covalent

Barium chloride: BaCl2 - Ionic

How many moles of methane (CH4) could be made from 4.6 moles of hydrogen?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Number of moles of methane form = 2.3 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Hydrogen = 4.6 mol

Number of moles of methane form = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C + 2H₂     →   CH₄

Now we will compare the moles of methane with hydrogen from balance chemical equation.

                     H₂              :           CH₄

                       2              :             1

                     4.6             :            1/2×4.6 = 2.3 mol  

Form 3.6 moles of hydrogen 2.3 moles of methane can be formed.

What is the volume if 1.5 mol of gas has a pressure of 700 torr at 15°C?
Tasya [4]

Answer:

V = 38.48 L

Explanation:

Given that,

No. of moles = 1.5 mol

Pressure, P = 700 torr

Temperature, T = 15°C = 288 K

We need to find the volume of the gas. The ideal gas equation is given by :

PV=nRT\\\\V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.5\times 62.36\times 288}{700}\\\\V=38.48\ L, R = L.Torr.K⁻¹.mol⁻¹

So, the required volume is equal to 38.48 L.

According to molecular orbital theory, the regions of the wave function with the highest probability of finding electrons are ar
Vlada [557]

According to molecular orbital theory,  regions of  wave function with highest probability of finding electrons are areas with constructive interference.

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle that can exist either free or bound to an atom (not bound). A bound electron is one of the three primary types of particles that make up an atom, along with protons and neutrons. Protons, neutrons, and electrons combined make up the atom's nucleus. A proton's positive charge balances an electron's negative charge. When an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it is said to be in a neutral state. Electrons are distinct from other particles in a number of ways. They have a much lower mass, are found outside the nucleus, and exhibit both wave- and particle-like characteristics. The electron is a basic particle.
