Cobalt(II) chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt of cobalt and chlorine, with the formula CoCl 2.The compound forms several hydrates CoCl 2 ·n H 2 O, for n = 1, 2, 6, and 9. . Claims of the formation of tri- and tetrahydrates have not been confirmed
Anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride is blue, while the hexahydrate is magenta in colour. [1] Because the color change of cobalt(II) chloride in different hydrates, it can be used to manufacture color-changing silica gel. Anhydrous cobalt halides react with nitric oxide at 70~120 °C to generate [Co(NO) 2 X] 2 (X = Cl, Br or I).
The compound is synthesized by the reaction of cobalt(II) chloride and ethylenediamine in hydrochloric acid in the presence of oxygen: 4 CoCl 2 + 8 en + 4 HCl + O 2 → 4 trans-[CoCl 2 (en) 2]Cl + 2 H 2 O. The initial product contains HCl, which is removed by heating.
When a metal salt, such as cobalt chloride, is added to a sodium silicate solution, it will start to dissolve. It will then form insoluble cobalt silicate by a double displacement reaction . This cobalt silicate is a semipermeable membrane .
Cobalt(III) chloride or cobaltic chloride is an unstable and elusive compound of cobalt and chlorine with formula CoCl 3. In this compound, the cobalt atoms have a formal charge of +3. [1] The compound has been reported to exist in the gas phase at high temperatures, in equilibrium with cobalt(II) chloride and chlorine gas.
Metathesis reactions can occur between two inorganic salts when one product is insoluble in water. For example, the precipitation of silver chloride from a mixture of silver nitrate and cobalt hexammine chloride delivers the nitrate salt of the cobalt complex: 3 AgNO 3 + [Co(NH 3) 6]Cl 3 → 3 AgCl + [Co(NH 3) 6](NO 3) 3
The salt is prepared with a two-step process starting with oxidizing a solution of cobalt chloride and ammonia. [1] [2] 2 CoCl 2 ·6H 2 O + 10 NH 3 + 2 HCl + H 2 O 2 → 2 [Co(NH 3) 5 (OH 2)]Cl 3 + 12 H 2 O. This intermediate is then heated to induce coordination of one of the outer sphere chloride ligands: [Co(NH 3) 5 (OH 2)]Cl 3 → [Co(NH 3 ...
Cis-dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride is obtained by heating a solution of trans-dichlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride, e.g. using a steam bath. The racemate can be resolved into two enantiomers (Λ and Δ) by the formation of the d-α-bromocamphor-π-sulfonate salt. The diastereomeric salts are separated by ...
