Tetrachlorocobalt (II) ion reacts with water to form hexaaquacobalt (II) ion according to the following net ionic equation:
[CoCl4]2-(aq, blue) + 6 H2O(l) <=> [Co(H2O)6]2+(aq, pink) + 4 Cl-(aq)

(A) A student doing this experiment placed a test tube containing a blue equilibrium mixture in an ice-water bath. The solution turned pink. When the student removed the test tube from the ice-water bath and placed it in the hot water bath, the solution turned blue. Is the forward reaction exothermic or endothermic? Give complete explanation.

(B) What change do you observe when you add concentrated hydrochloric acid, HCl, solution. HCl undergoes dissociation according the following equation: Give complete explanation.

HCl(aq) → H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

(C) What experimental evidence do you have that the equilibrium is affected by the addition of water. Give complete explanation.
