1) What dishes & substances are needed to find the molecular formula of CoCl2 · nH2O crystal hydrate? If possible, outline what the process might look like; 2) It is known that 32.5 g of anhydrous CoCl2 was obtained by heating 50 g of CoCl2 · nH2O crystal hydrate. What will be the molecular formula of the crystal hydrate?

For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation:   -axial bonds are vertical  -equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring.  thus, as i assume the chair conformation is drawn:   -the x group is in an axial position, as are the five other vertical bonds.  -three axial bonds are on the top face of the ring  -the other three axial bonds are on the bottom face  the position of the second substituent on each ring carbon is equatorial.  gauche groups must be on an adjacent carbon such as carbon 6 and carbon 2, and also gauche groups are rotated by 60 degrees relative to each other.  drawing the newman projections for c1–c2 and c1–c6 aids in visualizing the groups that are gauche to the y group on c1.  click this link and watch some academic videos that may you more understand the topic
