Chemistry

The rate of reduction of [Co(NH3)5(OH2)]3 by Cr(II) is sevenorders of magnitude slower than reduction of its conjugate base,[Co(NH3)5(OH)]2, by Cr(II). For the corresponding reductions with[Ru(NH3)6]2, the two differ by less than a factor of 10. What dothese observations suggest about their mechanisms?
