Formula of complex ion (Ligand exchange question) :/

The answer is CuCl₄^2- :s-smilie:

:s-smilie:

But because the Copper(II) sulfate is being surrounded by water CuSO₄(H2O)₆shouldn't chlorine substitute the water molecules instead of the sulfate like in all ligand substitution, so the answer should've been CuSO₄Cl₄ I guess :s-smilie:

The question says it is dissolved in water. Hence, it will be aqueous copper solution: Hexa aqua copper 2+ reacting with HCl
edit- clue is also in the colour change given we know aqueous copper solution is blue :smile:
