An aqueous solution of `COCL_2` on addition of excess of concentrated `HCl` turns blue due to formation of

A

(a) `[Co(H_2O)_4Cl_2]`

B

(b) `[Co(H_2O)_2Cl_4]^(2-)`

C

(c) `[CoCl_4]^(2-)`

D

(d) `[Co(H_2O)_2Cl_2]`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`CoCl_2` is a weak Lewis acid, reacting with chloride ion to produce salt containing the tetrahedral `[CoCl_4]^(2-)` ion which is blue in colour.

Co-ordiantion compounds show structural isomerism and it is different from the nature of the isomerism which we generally come across in organic compounds. The co-ordination and linkage isomers depending upon their upon the number of ions which they furnish upon dissociation in aqueous solution . The isomers belonging to a particular type can also be distinguished from each structural isomerism, the co-ordination compounds are also involved in geometrical and optical isomerism. Whereas optical octahedral and square planar complexes can exhibit geometrical isomerism. 1 . Aqueous solutions of on addition of excess of concentrated HCl turns blue due to the formation of

When a small amount of HCl is added to an aqueous solution of BiCl_3 , a white precipitate is formed. This is due to formation of

Diether ether becomes soluble in concentrated HCl in cold condition due to the formation of

When excess of dilute NH_(4)OH is added to an aqueous solution of copper sulphate an intense blue colour is developed.This is due to the formation of:

p-Amino-N,N-dimethylaniline is added to a strongly acidic solution of X. The resulting solution is treated with a few drops of aqueous solution of Y to yield blue colouration due to the formation of methylene blue. Treatment of aqueous solution of Y with reagent potassium hexacyanoferrate (II) leads to the formation of an intense blue precipitate. The precipitate dissolves on excess addition of the reagent. Similarly, the treatment of the solution of Y with the solution of potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) leads to a brown colouration due to the formation of Z. Q. Compound X is
