Question

One mole of the octahedral 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 excess of

AgNO_{3}

solution to yield two moles of

AgCl_{(s)}

. The structure of the complex is:

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. (c) ( Co ( NH_3 )_5 Cl ) Cl_2 ( Co ( NH_3 )_5 Cl )^2+ ( aq . )+2 Cl^- ( aq . )3 ions in water ( Co ( NH_3 )_5 Cl ) Cl_2 (aq. )+2 AgNO_3 ( aq.) ( ( Co ( NH_3 )_5 Cl ) Cl_2 ( aq . )+2 AgNO_3 ( aq .) ( Co ( NH_3 )_5 Cl ) ( NO_3 )_2 ( aq . )+2 AgCl (s )

$One mole of the octahedral complex compound Co (NH_{3})_{5} Cl_{3} gives 3 moles of ions on dissolution in water. One mole of the same complex reacts with excess of AgNO_{3} solution to yield two moles of AgCl_{(s)} . The structure of the complex is:$
