Consider the reactions
\[ \begin{array}{l} 1.\ \left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}+\left[\mathrm{CoCl}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{5}\right]^{2+} \rightarrow \left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{5}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}\right)\right]^{2+}+\left[\mathrm{CrCl}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2}\mathrm{O}\right)_{5}\right]^{2+} \\ 2.\ \left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{4-}+\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CN})_{8}\right]^{3-} \rightarrow \left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{3-+}+\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CN})_{8}\right]^{4-} \end{array} \]
