Question

One mole of the complex compound Co(NH3)5Cl3, gives three moles of ions on dissolution in water. One mole of the same complex reacts with two moles of AgNO3(aq) to yield two moles of AgCl(s). the structure of the complex is (A) [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 (B) [Co(NH3)3Cl3]⋅2NH3 (C) [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl⋅NH3 (D) [Co(NH3)4Cl]Cl2⋅NH3

Correct answer is (a) [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2

Q. One mole of the complex compound $C o (N H_{3})_{5} C l_{3}$ , gives three moles of ions on dissolution in water. One mole of the same complex reacts with two moles of $A g N O_{3 (a q)}$ to yield two moles of $A g C l_{(s)}$ . the structure of the complex is

$[C o (N H_{3})_{5} Cl] C l_{2}$

$[C o (N H_{3})_{3} C l_{3}] \cdot 2 N H_{3}$

$[C o (N H_{3})_{4} C l_{2}] Cl \cdot N H_{3}$

$[C o (N H_{3})_{4} Cl] C l_{2} \cdot N H_{3}$

Correct answer is (a) $[C o (N H_{3})_{5} Cl] C l_{2}$

Q. One mole of the complex compound Co(NH3​)5​Cl3​, gives three moles of ions on dissolution in water. One mole of the same complex reacts with two moles of AgNO3(aq)​ to yield two moles of AgCl(s)​. the structure of the complex is

[Co(NH3​)5​Cl]Cl2​

[Co(NH3​)3​Cl3​]⋅2NH3​

[Co(NH3​)4​Cl2​]Cl⋅NH3​

[Co(NH3​)4​Cl]Cl2​⋅NH3​
