Answer:
Explanation:
It is observed that the compounds are likely to be coordination compounds whereby SCN(thiocyanate) appears to be an ambidentate ligand possessing two(2) nucleophilic centers i.e sulphur and nitrogen.
The addition process of [tex]\mathbf{Fe^{2+}}[/tex] since it is an oxidizing agent that produces [tex]\mathbf{Fe^{3+}} \ and \ \mathbf{Co^{2+}}[/tex] complex in solution.
Thus;
[tex]\mathbf{[Co(NH_3)_5(NCS)]^{+2}+[Fe(H_2O)_6]^{+2} \to [Fe(SCN) (H_2O)_5]^{+2}+ [Co(H_2O)_6]^{+2}}[/tex]
From above; the electron transfer reaction showcases an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction.
