Q.

One mole of the octahedral complex compound [Co(NH3)5Cl3] gives 3 moles of ions on dissolution in water. One mole of the same complex reacts with excess of AgNO3 solution to yield two moles of AgCl(s). The structure of the complex is:              [2025]
 

1 [Co(NH3)3Cl3].2NH3  
2 [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2  
3 [Co(NH3)4Cl2].Cl.NH3  
4 [Co(NH3)4Cl].Cl2.NH3  

Ans.

(2)


[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2(aq)[Co(NH3)5Cl]2+(aq)+2Cl-(aq)excess AgNO3[Co(NH3)5Cl](NO3)2(aq)+2AgCl(s)
