The equivalents of ethylene diamine required to replace the neutral ligands from the coordination sphere of the trans-complex of CoCl 3 . 4 NH 3 is _______ . (Round off to the Nearest Integer).
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
1. trans- CoCl 3 . 4 NH 3 or trans - Co NH 3 4 Cl 2 C ℓ As we know that ethylene diamine is a bidentate ligand and ammonia is a mono dentate ligand. It means overall two ethylene diamine is required to replace the all neutral ligands (four ammonia) from the coordination sphere of this complex.
