CuCl2 is a hygroscopic salt (attracts water and forms a hydrate).  A 100 g sample of hydrated CuCl2 was heated to release the water (efflouresce, remember that word?).  After the sample was water free, the remaining sample contained 78.8 g.  How many water molecules were attached to each molecule of CuCl2?

Hint: How many moles of water were vaporized? How many moles of CuCl2 remained?
