Question


In an aqueous chloride solution cobalt(II) exists in equilibrium with the complex ion CoCl42-. Co2+(aq) is pink and CoCl42-(aq) is blue.


... At Low Temperature the pink color predominates. ...

... At High Temperature the blue color is strong. ...



If we represent the equilibrium as:... CoCl42-(aq)Co2+(aq) + 4Cl-(aq)
We can conclude that:

fill in the blank 1 1. This reaction is:
    A. Exothermic
