In this problem, we have to pay attention to hydrates.

The crystalline compound that includes a specific number of water molecules is called hydrate. The number of water molecules is also called water of hydration.

Our task is to determine the number of water molecules (water of hydration) if we know the percentage of water in a given hydrate.

Given hydrate and percentage of water are shown below.

Ni(NO3)2 × X H2\text{Ni(NO$_3$)$_2$ $\times$ X H$_2$O }

This hydrate has 37.2% of water.
