Question

When cobalt chloride is added to pure water, the Co2+ions hydrate. The hydrated form then reacts with the Cl-ions to set up the equilibrium shown here:
Co(H2O)62++ 4Cl-CoCl42"+ 6H2O
(pink) (blue)
Which statement accurately describes the change that the system will undergo if water is added?
A) The color will become more blue.
B) The equilibrium will shift to the right.
C) More water will be produced.
D) More chloride ions will be produced.
E) There will be less of the hydrated cobalt ion at the new equilibrium position.
