Cobalt(II) Hydroxide Precipitation

CoCl2 + 2NaOH → Co(OH)2↓ + 2NaCl

概述

Cobalt(II) chloride reacts with NaOH to form a blue or pink precipitate of cobalt(II) hydroxide (Ksp = 5.9 × 10⁻¹⁶). The initial blue precipitate converts to pink upon standing as the crystal structure rearranges. In air, it slowly oxidizes to brown Co(OH)₃.
