A 2. 00 g sample of cocl2. x h2o is dried in an oven. when the anhydrous salt is removed from the oven, its mass is 1. 565 g. what is the value of x?

It is Cobalt(II)chloride dihydrate. The value of x is 2.

First, we have to determine the mass of H₂O that was evaporated upon heating which will be = 2.00g - 1.56 g

                                 = 0.435 g

So,

CoCl₂ + x.H₂O → CoCl₂.xH₂O

Molecular mass of CoCl₂ = 129.839 g/mol

Molecular mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol

Weight of sample after heating = 1.565 g

Weight of H₂O evaporated = 0.435 g

Hence,

           [tex]18x = \frac{129.839X0.435}{1.565} \\x = \frac{55.48}{28.17} \\x = 1.9[/tex]

           x ≈ 2

So, it is Cobalt(II)chloride dihydrate.
