Question:
{eq}\displaystyle \rm Cobalt \ (II) \ Chloride {/eq} is commonly obtained from chemical suppliers as a hydrate. An analysis of {eq}\displaystyle \rm 25.0 \ g {/eq} of this hydrate was conducted by evaporating the water as described in this experiment. The anhydrous {eq}\displaystyle \rm cobalt \ (II) \ Chloride {/eq} mass was {eq}\displaystyle \rm 13.7 \ g {/eq}. Determine the formula of this hydrate.
Cobalt(II) Chloride:
Cobalt(II) chloride can be used as an indicator for humidity. In its anhydrate form, cobalt(II) chloride is blue. In humid air, the cobalt(II) chloride will become hydrated by water molecules and turn red in the process. Some companies sell cobalt(II) chloride test strips for easy testing of humidity levels.
