ou discover that the complex decomposes in water. When 0.1000 g of the complex is dissolved in water with excess NaHg(SCN)4, all of the Co(II) is precipitated as CoHg(SCN)4 (s). After the precipitate is washed and dried, its mass is found to be 0.1102 g. How many grams of cobalt are contained in the original 0.1000 grams of the complex

6.28x10⁻³ g

Explanation:

First we convert 0.1102 grams of CoHg(SCN)₄ into moles, using its molar mass:

There is 1 Co mol per CoHg(SCN)₄ mol, meaning there's also 2.24x10⁻⁴ moles of Co.

We now convert 2.24x10⁻⁴ moles of Co into grams, using its molar mass:

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
