Concept explainers
In most of its ionic compounds, cobalt is either Co(II) or Co(III). One such compound, containing chloride ion and waters of hydration, was analyzed, and the following results were obtained. A 0.256-g sample of the compound was dissolved in water, and excess silver nitrate was added. The silver chloride was filtered, dried, and weighed, and it bad a mass of 0.308 g. A second sample of 0.416 g of the compound was dissolved in water, and an excess of sodium hydroxide was added. The hydroxide salt was filtered and heated in a flame, forming cobalt(III) oxide. The mass of cobalt(III) oxide formed was 0.145 g.
a. What is the percent composition, by mass, of the compound?
b. Assuming the compound contains one cobalt ion per formula unit, what is the formula?
c. Write balanced equations for the three reactions described.

Interpretation: To write the balanced equation of the precipitation reactions.
Concept introduction:
When two solutions containing soluble salts are mixed together, an insoluble salt so called precipitate is obtained and the reaction is called as precipitation reaction. These precipitation reactions help in the determination of various ions in the solution.’
Answer to Problem 123CP
This is redox reaction. Hence, an oxidizing agent is required and the oxidizing agent is
Explanation of Solution
To write the balanced equation of the precipitation reactions.
The reaction between cobalt chloride hexahydrate with base such as silver nitrate and sodium hydroxide yields precipitates of silver chloride and cobalt hydroxide with release of water and sodium chloride. The equation for this reaction can be given as,
Cobalt hydroxide oxidizes to cobalt (III) oxide and water.
Two moles of silver nitrate are required to react with cobalt chloride hexahydrate to give 2 moles of silver chloride as precipitate with side products being cobalt nitrate and water. Cobalt nitrate being water soluble remains inside the solution, thus precipitating silver chloride out of the solution.
Two moles of sodium hydroxide are required to react with cobalt chloride hexahydrate to give 2 moles of cobalt hydroxide with sodium chloride and water. Sodium chloride being soluble in water, dissociates as spectator ions thus remaining in the solution and a precipitate of cobalt hydroxide is precipitated out.
Cobalt hydroxide on heating is oxidized to cobalt (III) oxide with water.
The balanced form of these equations can be given as,
The reaction of heating cobalt hydroxide is oxidation-reduction reaction, where oxygen is used as oxidizing agent and cobalt (III) oxide is obtained.
The given reactions were found to be precipitation reaction and moles on the reactant and the product were obtained. The reaction of heating cobalt hydroxide is oxidation-reduction reaction, where oxygen is used as oxidizing agent to oxidized cobalt hydroxide to cobalt (III) oxide. The balanced equations are,
