12.1 g cocl3 calculate the amount, in moles

Number of moles of CoCl3 =  0.09 moles

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CoCl₃ = 12.1 g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the molar mass.

Molar mass of CoCl3 = 28.01 + (35.5×3)

Molar mass of CoCl3 = 28.01 + 106.5

Molar mass of CoCl3 = 134.51 g/mol

Number of moles of CoCl3 = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of CoCl3 = 12.1 g/134.51 g/mol

Number of moles of CoCl3 =  0.09 moles

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
