Cobalt (III) chloride forms several octahedral complexes with ammonia. Which of the following will not give test for chloride ions with silver nitrate at 25oC{25}^{o}C?

Options

  1. ACoC{l}_{3} ⋅ 3N{H}_{3}
  2. BCoC{l}_{3} ⋅ 4N{H}_{3}
  3. CCoC{l}_{3} ⋅ 5N{H}_{3}
  4. DCoC{l}_{3} ⋅ 6N{H}_{3}

Correct answer

A. CoC{l}_{3} ⋅ 3N{H}_{3}

Step-by-step solution

In CoCl3⋅3NH3CoC{l}_{3} ⋅ 3N{H}_{3} the complex can be written as [CoCl3(NH3)3][ CoC{l}_{3}{\left(N{H}_{3}\right)}_{3} ]

With Co3+C{o}^{3 +} oxidation state 3, Cl−C{l}^{-} ions & 3, NH3N{H}_{3} molecules be with in the co-ordination sphere Co - Cl bonds in co-ordination sphere not ionisable.
