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

If enough changes occur in the gene pool of a species, it is possible that a new species would be created.
lianna [129]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A gene pool is the sum total of all the genes(sum of alleles)of a species and population at any given time is known as gene pool.

The new species are created in nature by four mechanisms such as geographic isolation (allopatric speciation), reproductive isolation (sympatric speciation), mating behaviour (parapatric speciation).

Due to any of these factors when population acquire unique changes in their genes and enough changes have been introduced in the gene pool of the population with time, two population become distinct from each other and not able to interbreed leads to the formation of new species.

Alcl3+Na =NaCl+ Al .did Al change oxidation number
saul85 [17]

Answer:

yes it is ( From +3 to 0 )

Explanation:

If this is the balanced equation:

AlCl3     +    3Na ——>    3NaCl      +      Al

Al      Cl        3Na             Na     Cl            Al

+3     -3        0                    +1       -1            0

Consider the redox reaction below.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Explanation:

Let us consider the complete redox reaction:

Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.

  • Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
  • Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
  • An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.

Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2

And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.

Therefore, for this reaction;

Oxidation Half equation is:

Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻

Reduction Half equation is:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)
