The questions below refer to the following system: Co(H,O)6+4 CI =C0C14 + 6H,O (pink) (blue) When cobalt(II) chloride is added to pure water, the Co" ions hydrate. The hydrated form then reacts with the Cl ions to set up the equilibrium shown here. 1S Which statement below describes the change that the system will undergo if water is added? Select one: O a. More chloride ions will be produced. O b. The equilibrium will shift to the right. O c. There will be less of the hydrated cobalt ion at the new equilibrium position. O d. More water will be produced. O e. The color will become more blue.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Le Chatelier's principle:

This principle is used to predict the effect of a change in conditions on chemical equilibrium. This principle states that when any system at equilibrium for a long period of time is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature, volume, or pressure the system changes to a new equilibrium, and this change partly counteracts the applied change.
