When heated gently, the red burgundy CoCl2.6H2O will decomposes into the

violet CoCl2.2H2O then to the blue anhydrous CoCl2.

Note: When this anhydrous compound is dissolved in water it will go back to the original red burgundy color.

What happens when silver nitrate is added to barium chloride?

When silver nitrate is added to barium chloride, a white precipitate of silver chloride forms because silver chloride is insoluble in water. This occurs due to a double displacement reaction where the silver ions from silver nitrate react with the chloride ions from barium chloride to form silver chloride. The remaining solution would contain barium nitrate as the other product of the reaction.
