If you mass 0.430 g of Co(NO3)2 6H2O and dissolve it in water, what further information would you need to calculate:. a. the number of moles of Co(NO3)2 in the solution?
b. the molarity of the solution

a. No information is required.

b. The volume of the solution.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since hydrates are salts which have additional water in their structures, when making mole-mass calculations involving them, we need to consider the how many water molecules we find in the hydrate. In such a way, for 0.430 g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (six water molecules), we proceed as follows:

a. Since we have 0.430 g of hydrate, we may compute the moles of anhydrous cobalt nitrate by using the molar mass of the hydrate (291.04 g/mol) and then, by noticing that one mole hydrate has one mole of anhydrous, we are able to compute the moles of anhydrous cobalt nitrate as shown below:

It means no further information is required.

b. Since the molarity is defined by the division of the moles of solute over liters of solution (M=mol/V), we would need the volume of the solution to successfully compute it.

Bes regards!

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.
