The given mass of cobalt chloride hydrate = 2.055 g
A sample of cobalt chloride hydrate was heated to drive off waters of hydration and the anhydrate was weighed.
The mass of anhydrous cobalt chloride = 1.121 g anhydrate.
The mass of water lost during heating = 2.055 g - 1.121 g = 0.934 g
Converting mass of water of hydration present in the hydrate to moles using molar mass:
Mass of water = 0.934 g
Molar mass of water = 18.0 g/mol
Moles of water = 
The given formula for heat, Q=mc(Tf-Ti), is the best way to solve such problems with changes in temperature. It can be said that m is the mass of the substance. C is the specific heat of the substance. The term (Tf-Ti) is the change in temperature.
Q = mc(Tf-Ti) = 480g(0.96 J/g-C)(234-22) = 97689.6 Joules of heat
The concept we are looking for here is electronegativity. This concept is a measure of how strong an atom or element can attract a pair, that is bonding, of electrons to itself.
Fluorine is the element or atom of the greatest electronegativity. Electronegativity would increase as we move left to right of the periodic table.
B protons are positive atoms and are inside the nucleus
Answer:
Boron has a larger radius and the protons in carbon exert more pull.
Explanation:
Remember than elements have greater radius as they are closer to the bottom left corner, so boron would have the larger radius here. Carbon has a smaller radius, which makes it easier for the protons in carbon to exert more pull.
