MCQ
When concentrated $HCl$ is added to an aqueous solution of $CoCl_2$, its colour changes from reddish pink to deep blue . Which complex ion gives blue colour in this reaction?
  • ${\left[ {CoC{l_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$
  • B
    ${\left[ {CoC{l_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$
  • C
    ${\left[ {CoC{l_6}} \right]^{4 - }}$
  • D
    ${\left[ {Co{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
${\left[ {CoC{l_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$
a
Aqueous of solution of $CoCl_2$ contains $[Co(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$ which is pinkish in colour so option $(d)$ is incorrect. Reduction potential of $C{o^{3 \oplus }} \to C{o^{2 \oplus }}$ is high so option $(b)$ is incorrect. $Co^{2+}$ does not oxidises easily to $Co^{3+}$. It is general case that symmetrical substituted octahedral complexes are less deeper in colour than tetrahedral complexes. So $[CoCl_4]^{-2}$ is deep blue in colour.

Bleaching powder and bleach solution are produced on a large scale and used in several house hold products.

The effectiveness of bleach solution is often measured by iodometry.

$1.$ $25 mL$ of household bleach solution was mixed with $30 \ mL$ of $0.50 \ M \ KI$ and $10 \ mL$ of $4 \ N$ acetic acid. In the titration of the liberated iodine, $48 \ mL$ of $0.25 \ N \ Na _2 S _2 O _3$ was used to reach the end point. The molarity of the household bleach solution is
