(Exp C)  A certain cobalt hydrate was assayed in an analytical laboratory.  After the addition of six 
drops of 1.0 M AgNO3 in HNO3 to the hydrate solution, a white curdy precipitate was formed.  The 
mass of the anhydrous salt was 3.251g and the mass of water lost was 2.750 g.  The unknown hydrate 
is: 
 
 
a. 
CoCl2
2 H2O 
 
b. 
CaBr2
9 H2O 
 
c. 
CoSO
4
4 H2O 
 
d. 
CoCl2
6 H2O 
 
e. 
CoBr2
10 H2O

temperature 
23.3 
oC 
 
 
height of water column 
3.30 cm 
 
 
 
What is the pressure of nitrogen, N2, gas (in mm of Hg) under these conditions? 
 
 
a. 
665.5 
 
b. 
696.1 
 
c. 
698.3 
 
d. 
720.0
