    Mass CoCl2 = 10.27 g

    moles CoCl2 = 10.27 g / 129.839 g/mol=0.07910

    mass water = 17.40 - 10.27=7.13 g

    moles water = 7.13 / 18.02 g/mol=0.396

    0.396 / 0.07910=5

    CoCl2 * 5 H2O

    moles CaF2 = 85.8 g / 78.0748 g/mol=1.10

    moles Ca = 1.10

    mass Ca = 1.10 x 40.078 g/mol=44.1 g

    V = 44.1 / 1.55 = 28.5 mL
