An aqueous solution of CoCl2 on addition of excess of concentrated HCl turns blue due to formation of

  • [Co(H2O)4Cl2]

  • [Co(H2O)2Cl4]2-

  • [CoCl4]2-

  • [Co(H2O)2Cl2]


C.

[CoCl4]2-

An aqueous solution of CoCl2 on addition of excess of concentrated HCl turns blue due to formation of [CoCl4]2-. This is because CoCl2 is a weak Lewis acid that reacts with chloride ion to produce salt containing the tetrahedral [CoCl4]2- ion. CoCl2 is blue when anhydrous, and a deep magenta colour when hydrated, therefore used as an indicator for water.
