The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the color change when concentrated HCl is added to a solution of Cr(NO3)2, let's break down the process step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants:** - The reactants are Cr(NO3)2 (chromium(II) nitrate) and concentrated HCl (hydrochloric acid). 2. **Understand the Reaction:** - When concentrated HCl is added to Cr(NO3)2, a complex ion is formed. The chromium ion in Cr(NO3)2 can form a complex with water molecules and chloride ions from HCl. 3. **Formation of the Complex:** - The chromium ion (Cr^2+) can coordinate with water molecules and chloride ions. The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Cr(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} + 3 \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{[Cr(H}_2\text{O)}_6]^{3+} + 3 \text{NO}_3^{-} + 3 \text{Cl}^- \] - Here, the chromium ion is surrounded by six water molecules, forming a hexaaquachromium(II) complex, which can further react with chloride ions. 4. **Color Change Observation:** - The solution slowly turns green due to the formation of the chloro complex, which is a result of the interaction between chromium ions and chloride ions. The specific chloro complex formed is [CrCl3(H2O)3], which imparts a green color to the solution. 5. **Conclusion:** - The green color observed is due to the formation of the chloro complex of chromium. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is the chloro complex. ### Final Answer: The solution turns green due to the formation of the chloro complex.
