Cobalt chloride when dissolved in water forms pink colored complex X which has octahedral geometry. This solution on treating with cone HCl forms deep blue complex, Y which has a Z geometry. X, Y and Z, respectively, are              (Jee Main 2023)
  1. X = [Co(H2O)6]2+, Y = [CoCl4]2– , Z = Tetrahedral
  2. X = [Co(H2O6)]2+, Y = [CoCl6]3–, Z = Octahedral
  3. X = [Co(H2O)6]3+, Y = [CoCl6]3–, Z = Octahedral
  4. X = [Co(H2O)4Cl2]+, Y = [CoCl4]2–, Z = Tetrahedral

Answer

(A) X = [Co(H 2 O) 6 ] 2+ , Y = [CoCl 4 ] 2– , Z = Tetrahedral
