When $Co(II)$ chloride is dissolved in concentrated $HCl$,a blue solution is obtained. Upon dilution with water,the colour changes to pink because:

  • A
    $[CoCl_6]^{4-}$ is converted to $[CoCl_6]^{3-}$
  • B
    $[CoCl_4]^{2-}$ is converted to $[Co(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$
  • C
    $[Co(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$ is converted to $[Co(H_2O)_6]^{3+}$
  • D
    $[CoCl_4]^{2-}$ is converted to $[Co(H_2O)_6]^{3+}$

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Ammonia forms the complex $[Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$ with copper ions in alkaline solution but not in acidic solution. The reason for this is

$A$ first row transition metal $(M)$ does not liberate $H_{2}$ gas from dilute $HCl$. $1 \ mol$ of aqueous solution of $MSO_{4}$ is treated with excess of aqueous $KCN$ and then $H_{2}S_{(g)}$ is passed through the solution. The amount of $MS$ (metal sulphide) formed from the above reaction is . . . . . . $mol$.
