[ CoCl 2( NH 3)4]++ Cl - longrightarrow [ CoCl 3( NH 3)3]+ NH 3 In the reaction only one isomer of complex product is obtained. The initial complex is (A) cis isomer (B) irons isomer (C) not having stereoisomers (D) either cis or trans

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The original complex must have the chloride ions in the trans position, since then all other four positions which could be replaced are equivalent.

Q. [CoCl2​(NH3​)4​]++Cl−⟶[CoCl3​(NH3​)3​]+NH3​ In the reaction only one isomer of complex product is obtained. The initial complex is

cis isomer

irons isomer

not having stereoisomers

either cis or trans

The original complex must have the chloride ions in the trans position, since then all other four positions which could be replaced are equivalent.
