Cobalt chloride Select one:
a. Forms a single hydrate which may be pink or blue
b. Is colorless in the presence of water
c. Does not exist as a hydrate
d. Forms different hydrates which have different colors

Forms different hydrates which have different colors

Explanation:

CoCl2 in its anhydrous form is blue in colour. This anhydrous compound could absorb moisture, first forming the purple dihydrate and absorbs more water molecules to form the hexahydrate. Hence various hydrates of cobalt II chloride have different colours as stated above. Equations of reaction for the formation of the two hydrates are attached.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
