One mole of the complex compound Co ( NH ₃ )₅ Cl ₃ , gives 3 moles of ions on dissolution in water. One mole of the same complex reacts with two moles of AgNO ₃ solution to yield two moles of AgCl (s). The structure of the complex is
Options
- A[ Co ( NH ₃ )₃ Cl ₃ ] 2 NH ₃
- B[ Co ( NH ₃ )₄ Cl ₂ ] Cl . NH ₃
- C[ Co ( NH ₃ )₄ Cl ] Cl ₂ . NH ₃
- D[ Co ( NH ₃ )₅ Cl ] Cl ₂
Correct answer
D. [ Co ( NH ₃ )₅ Cl ] Cl ₂
Step-by-step solution
Co ( NH ₃ )₅ Cl ₃ [ Co ( NH ₃ )₅ Cl ]⁺²+2 Cl ⁻ Structure is [ Co ( NH ₃ )₅ Cl ] Cl ₂ .
