The creation of shells by mollusk species is a fascinating process. By utilizing the Ca2+ in their food and aqueous environment, as well as some complex equilibrium processes, a hard calcium carbonate shell can be produced.

Is the conversion of the red cation to the blue anion exothermic or endothermic? (b) If hydrochloric acid is added to the violet mixture of cobalt(II) ions shown below, the blue CoCl42 ion is favored.
