Cobalt(II)chloride is commonly obtained from chemical supply houses as a hydrate with the formula CoCl2.6H2O. An analysis showed that 25.0g of this hydrate contains 11.3g of water. What us the present water by weight in this hydrate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The present water by weight for the hydrate = 45.2%

Explanation:

From the given information;

The present water by weight = (weight of the water/ total weight of the hydrate) × 100

The present water by weight = (11.3/25) × 100%

The present water by weight = 0.452 × 100%

The present water by weight for the hydrate = 45.2%
