### Problems:

**3. Complete and balance the following equations:**

a. \( \text{BaCl}_2 \cdot 2\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(s)} \overset{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \)

b. \( \text{Co(C}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2)_2 \cdot 4\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(s)} \overset{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \)

---

**4. What is the percent by mass of water in:**

a. \( \text{BaCl}_2 \cdot 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \)

b. \( \text{Co(C}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2)_2 \cdot 4\text{H}_2\text{O} \)

---

**5.** Determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of a compound that consists of 8.74% C, 77.43% Cl, 13.83% F and has a molar mass of 137.5 g/mol.

---

**Note:** Questions marked with an asterisk (*) may require additional data or calculations beyond the provided information.

---

### Explanation:

- **Problem 3:** This question involves the thermal decomposition of hydrates, where water is removed upon heating (\( \Delta \)).

- **Problem 4:** Requires calculation of the percentage of water by mass in given hydrates.

- **Problem 5:** Using percentage composition to determine the empirical and molecular formulas needs atomic masses and a determination of moles.
