Anhydrous CoCl2 is blue; CoCl2•6H2O is red. When CoCl2•6H2O is heated and water is clearly being driven off, it becomes uniformly violet before turning blue. How can this be explained?

How is electrolysis most commonly used to produce an energy source? a - splitting water molecules produces oxygen, which organisms breathe to fuel their bodies. b - splitting water molecules produces hydrogen gas, which is used to power machines through hydrogen fuel cells. c - splitting carbon dioxide molecules produces coal, a form of carbon that can be burned to produce heat. d - splitting carbon dioxide molecules produces natural gas, which can be burned to generate electricity in power plants.
