4 Equations for the effect of water on anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride and anhydrous
copper(II) sulfate are shown.
C The colour change observed when hydrated copper(II) sulfate is heated is from blue to white.
D The colour change observed when water is added to anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride is from
pink to blue.
5 Some crystals of hydrated cobalt(II) chloride are heated in a test-tube until no further change is
observed.
The test-tube is allowed to cool and a few drops of water are then added to the contents.
