    When concentrated HCl is added to an aqueous solution of \[CoC{{l}_{2}},\]its colour changes from reddish pink to deep blue. Which complex ion gives blue colour in this reaction? [JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 11 April 2015)]  

    A) \[{{[CoC{{l}_{6}}]}^{4-}}\]

    B) \[{{[CoC{{l}_{6}}]}^{3-}}\]

    C) \[{{[CoC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    D) \[{{[Co{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

      \[{{\left[ COC{{l}_{4}} \right]}^{2-}}\] reaction \[{{\left[ CO\underset{pink}{\mathop{{{\left( {{H}_{2}}O \right)}_{6}}}}\, \right]}^{2+}}+4C{{l}^{-}}\to {{\left[ CO\underset{Blue}{\mathop{{{\left( Cl \right)}_{4}}}}\, \right]}^{2-}}+6{{H}_{2}}O\,\text{pink}\]
