Salt identification
« on: June 12, 2014, 06:26:19 AM »
What is/are the product/(s) of the following reaction:

Co(OH)2(s) + OH-(aq)    (Eq. 1)

I can inform you of the earlier reaction leading up to this one:

[Co(H2O)6]2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq)  :rarrow: Co(OH)2(s) + 6H2O(l)  (Eq 2)

The precipitate formed in (Eq. 2) is blue. This precipitate then turns red/grey as conc. NaOH(aq) is added. What is/are the product/(s) formed in equation 1?

Best regards

Thank you very much. My lab manual only tells me that the precipitate, if containing Co2+, will turn red/grey upon addition of very concentrated sodium hydroxide.

Best regards,
