(N/A) Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution: $M = \frac{n}{V(L)}$.
$(a)$ Molar mass of $Co(NO_3)_2 \cdot 6H_2O = 59 + 2(14 + 48) + 6(18) = 291 \, g \, mol^{-1}$.
Moles of $Co(NO_3)_2 \cdot 6H_2O = \frac{30 \, g}{291 \, g \, mol^{-1}} \approx 0.103 \, mol$.
Molarity $= \frac{0.103 \, mol}{4.3 \, L} \approx 0.0239 \, M$.
$(b)$ Using the dilution formula $M_1V_1 = M_2V_2$:
$0.5 \, M \times 30 \, mL = M_2 \times 500 \, mL$.
$M_2 = \frac{0.5 \times 30}{500} = 0.03 \, M$.

Substance $A_2B_{(g)}$ can undergo decomposition to form two sets of products. If the molar ratio of $A_{2(g)}$ to $A_{(g)}$ is $5 : 3$ in a set of product gases,then the energy involved in the decomposition of $1 \, \text{mole}$ of $A_2B_{(g)}$ is:
$A_2B_{(g)} \to A_{2(g)} + B_{(g)}; \Delta H^o = 40 \, \text{kJ/mol}$
$A_2B_{(g)} \to A_{(g)} + AB_{(g)}; \Delta H^o = 50 \, \text{kJ/mol}$
