Which statement is true regarding the following reaction? cis-Λ-[Co(en)2Cl2]  +  OH−  -->  cis-[Co(en)2Cl(OH)]  +  Cl− Group of answer choices At high OH- concentrations, the product complex is a Δ isomer. This reaction does not actually take place - instead of en ligands, there must be NH3 ligands. At low OH- concentrations, the product complex is a Δ isomer. The first step of this reaction mechanism is the dissociation of Cl-.
