A theoretical molecule exists as a hydrate (has non-covalently bound waters of hydration) with a molecular mass of 237.930 g/mol. Prolonged heating can drive off the waters of hydration. A 52.598 g sample of the hygrate was heated for 15 minutes, cooled and reweighed. The residual mass was found to be 39.044 g. Calculate the number of water molecules associated with each CoCl2 in the hydrate.

A theoretical molecule exists as a hydrate (has non-covalently bound waters
of hydration) with a molecular mass of 237.930 g/mol. Prolonged heating can
drive off the waters of hydration. A 52.598 g sample of the hyğrate was
heated for 15 minutes, cooled and reweighed. The residual mass was found
to be 39.044 g. Calculate the number of water molecules associated with
each CoCl2 in the hydrate.
