The empirical formula of metal iodide : CoI₃(Cobalt(III) Iodide)
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
13.02 g sample of Cobalt , then mol Co(MW=58.933 g/mol) :
Mass of metal iodide formed : 97.12 g, so mass of Iodine :
Then mol iodine (MW=126.9045 g/mol) :
mol ratio of Cobalt and Iodine in the compound :
Answer:
Divide the mass of your anhydrous (heated) salt sample by the molar mass of the anhydrous compound to get the number of moles of compound present. In our example, 16 grams / 160 grams per mole = 0.1 moles. Divide the mass of water lost when you heated the salt by the molar mass of water, roughly 18 grams per mole.In order to determine the formula of the hydrate, [Anhydrous Solid⋅xH2O], the number of moles of water per mole of anhydrous solid (x) will be calculated by dividing the number of moles of water by the number of moles of the anhydrous solid (Equation 2.12. 6).
SiO2 is the only possible choice because the other formulas contain metals. how do we know this? because the other formulas contain elements located on the left of the “staircase” on the periodic table that separates metals from non-metals.
