Question

If you add MeOH to CoCl2(Alc)2, the CoCl2(Alc)2 concentration will change. What are the two reasons for this concentration change?

Answer 1

There are two reasons that account for the change in concentration. One is by the physical change and second is by the chemical change. The physical change refers to the mixture of the two compounds. The concentration is the amount of that certain substance to the whole mixture. Since the mixture increases because you add them up, the concentration decreases. Second, these compounds react with each other once they interact. Hence, their amounts would be consumed in order to produce the products.
