Question
An aqueous pink solution of cobalt (II) chloride changes to deep blue on addition of excess of HCl. This is because:
(i) \[\ce{[Co(H2O)6]^{2+}}\] is transformed into \[\ce{[CoCl6]}^{4-}\]
(ii) \[\ce{[Co(H2O)6]^{2+}}\] is transformed into \[\ce{[CoCl4]}^{2-}\]
(iii) tetrahedral complexes have smaller crystal field splitting than octahedral complexes.
(iv) tetrahedral complexes have larger crystal field splitting than octahedral complex.

Solution
(ii) \[\ce{[Co(H2O)6]^{2+}}\] is transformed into \[\ce{[CoCl4]}^{2-}\]
(iii) tetrahedral complexes have smaller crystal field splitting than octahedral complexes.
Explanation:
Aqueous pink solution of cobalt (II) chloride is due to electronic transition of electron from t2g to eg energy level of \[\ce{[Co(H2O)6]^{2+}}\] complex. When excess of HCl is added to this solution
(i) \[\ce{[Co(H2O)6]^{2+}}\] is transformed into \[\ce{[CoCl4]^{2-}}\].
(ii) Tetrahedral complexes have smaller crystal field splitting than octahedral complexes because Δr = `4/9` Δ0

Crystal field splitting by various ligands Metal complexes show different colours due to d-d transitions. The complex absorbs light of specific wavelength to promote the electron from t2g to eg level. The colour of the complex is due to the transmitted light, which is complementary of the colour absorbed. The wave number of light absorbed by different complexes of Cr ion are given below:
