This question is about cobalt and its compounds. A coloured crystal of cobalt(chloride was placed at the bottom of a beaker containing water. After 2 days, the colour had spread throughout the water. at the start after 2 hours after 2 days crystal of cobalt(chloride water Explain these observations using the kinetic particle model. Cobalt(chloride can be used to test for the presence of water. CoCl 2 + 6H2O CoCl 2.6H2O anhydrous hydrated cobalt(chloride cobalt(chloride What is meant by the symbol ? Describe how the colour of anhydrous cobalt(chloride changes when water is added to it. from to  A compound of cobalt can be represented by the structure shown. = cobalt, Co = carbon, C = oxygen, O key Deduce the molecular formula of this compound showing the number of cobalt, carbon and oxygen atoms. The table compares the reactivity of cobalt with that of three other metals. metal reactivity with cold water reactivity with steam barium reacts rapidly cobalt no reaction reacts slowly when heated magnesium reacts very slowly reacts rapidly zinc no reaction reacts easily when heated Use this information to put the metals in order of their reactivity. Put the least reactive metal first. least reactive most reactive  Cobalt is a transition element. Lithium is an element in GroupI of the Periodic Table. Describe three ways in which the properties of cobalt differ from those of lithium.  When cobalt(oxide, CoO, is heated in air, an oxide with the formula Co3O4 is formed. Balance the chemical equation for this reaction. CoO + O2 2Co3O4  When Co3O4 is heated with hydrogen, cobalt metal can be formed. Co3O4 + 4H2 3Co + 4H2O How does this equation show that Co3O4 is reduced?
