Question

The questions below refer to the following system : CO(H2O)6^2++4Cl^-><COCl4^2- +6H2O; Cobalt chloride is added to pure water. The Co^2+ ions hydrate. The hydrated form then reacts with the Cl^- ions to set up the equilibrium shown here: Which statement below describes the change that the system will undergo if silver nitrate is added? a. the silver ion will react with the. CoCl4^2-, b. It should become more pink. , c. Water will be produced., d. It should become more blue. , e. Nothing will change

Explanation / Answer

In the given compound all the chloride ions are in coordination sphere so nonebof them will react with silver niteate. Thus, there will be no change.
