Which among the following doesn't form a white precipitate with AgNO ₃ solution?
Options
- A[ Co ( NH ₃ )₆ ] Cl ₃
- B[ Co ( NH ₃ )₅ Cl ] Cl ₂
- C[ Co ( NH ₃ )₄ Cl ₂ ] Cl ₂
- D[ Co ( NH ₃ )₃ Cl ₃ ]
Correct answer
D. [ Co ( NH ₃ )₃ Cl ₃ ]
Step-by-step solution
The [ CoCl ₃ ( NH ₃ )₃ ] complex contains elements of symmetry and is optically inactive. It does not give white precipitate with silver nitrate solution as chlorine is present in coordination sphere.
