What is the number of moles of silver chloride precipitated when excess silver nitrate is treated with one mole of pentaamminecarbonatocobalt(III) chloride?

Step-by-step solution

Pentaamminecarbonatocobalt(III) chloride features a Co³⁺ center coordinated to five neutral NH₃ ligands and one CO₃²⁻ ligand, giving the complex ion [ Co(NH₃)5CO3 ]^+ with charge +3 + 0 - 2 = +1 . Silver nitrate test for ionic chloride: Each formula unit contains one Cl- ion, producing one mole of AgCl precipitate per mole of compound. E = mass of AgCl molar mass of AgCl = 2.87 , g 143.32 , g/mol = 0.02 , mol Since one mole of compound yields one mole of AgCl , the moles of silver chloride precipitated are 0.02 , m
