In aqueous solution cobalt(II) ion is surrounded by 4 water molecules and has a light pink color. When high concentrations of chloride ion are introduced, a cobalt-chloride complex ion forms that has a distinctive blue color. One way to represent this equilibrium is: ... CoCl42-(aq) Co2+(aq) + 4 Cl -(aq)
