The correct answer is:
Potassium
$\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{3}+\mathrm{NaNO}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)_{6}\right] \\
\mathrm{Na}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]+\mathrm{K}^{+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)_{6}\right] \downarrow \text { yellow ppt }
\end{array}$
\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{3}+\mathrm{NaNO}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)_{6}\right] \\
\mathrm{Na}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]+\mathrm{K}^{+} \longrightarrow \mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)_{6}\right] \downarrow \text { yellow ppt }
