Identify the type of chemical reaction of cobalt (iii) fluoride

The compound crystallizes in the aluminium trifluoride motif. Each fluoride is a doubly bridging ligand. The cobalt centers are octahedral.

CoF3 decomposes upon contact with water to give oxygen:

4 CoF3 + 2 H2O → 4 HF + 4 CoF2 + O2

It reacts with fluoride salts to give the anion [CoF6]3−, which is also features high-spin, octahedral cobalt(III) center.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
