Don't quote me on this - I'm just a Year 12 student trying to figure this out but... As I understand it the cobalt chloride does not actually react with the ethanol but rather the ethanol has an effect on the equilibrium reaction: Co(H2O)62+ + 4Cl-(aq) D CoCl42-(aq) + 6H2O(l) The ethanol separates the cobalt chloride from the water pushing the reaction towards the right hand side (blue) to restore equilibrium (Le Chatelier's principle). When water is added more H2O can react with the CoCl42-(aq) pushing the reaction back towards the left hand side (pink). I hope this helps and I'm sorry if I'm wrong!

Common oxidation states of cobalt include +2 and +3, so two different chlorides are possible: CoCl2 and CoCl3 but the last one is rare.

(CoF3 (Co(III)-fluoride) is a better possibillity to prove this oxidation state)

Cobalt (I) chloride = Cobalt monochloride = CoCl Cobalt (II) chloride = Cobalt dichloride = CoCl2 Cobalt (III) chloride = Cobalt trichloride = CoCl3
