plese give me the formula if you dont want to show it .Please

aaronq · Answer

it is 6. 

find moles of water:  $n=\dfrac{m}{M}=\dfrac{10.8 g}{18\;g/mol}=0.6\;mol$

write an equation: $XCl_2+H_2O\rightarrow XCl_2*nH_2O,$
                            $    0.1 mol\;\;\color{red}{ 0.6 mol}    \;\;\;\;\;\;\; 0.1 mol                $
