It should be Cl
next to the capital C is an L btw
Answer: On losing 6 moles of water, cobalt chloride forms unstable violet-coloured ions, before generating its stable blue-coloured anhydrous form.
Explanation:
The hydrated cobalt chloride loses its 6 water of crystallization, then dissociates into ions: cobalt ions and chlorine ions that appear violet, and quickly combined to form the stable anhydrous Cobalt chloride with blue colour.
Substitution Reactions are those reactions in which one nucleophile replaces another nucleophile present on a substrate. These reactions can take place via two different mechanism i.e SN¹ or SN². In SN¹ substitution reactions the leaving group leaves first forming a carbocation and nucleophile attacks carbocation in the second step. While in SN² reactions the addition of Nucleophile and leaving of leaving group take place simultaneously.
Example:
OH⁻ + CH₃-Br → CH₃-OH + Br⁻
In above reaction,
OH⁻ = Incoming Nucleophile
CH₃-Br = Substrate
CH₃-OH = Product
Br⁻ = Leaving group
Organic reactions are typically slower than ionic reactions because in organic compounds the covalent bonds are first broken, this breaking of bonds is a slower step, while, in ionic compounds no bond breakage is required as it consists of ions, so only bond formation takes place which is a quicker and fast step.
