WhenAgNO3solution is added in excess to 1M solution ofCoCl3.XNH3one mole ofAgClis formed? What is the value of'X'?(Assume that the co-ordination number is 6)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

CoCl3.XNH3 gives 1 mole of AgCl. So one Cl ion is outside the complex. So 2Cl and 4NH3 satisfy coordination number 6.

From the given data the possible complex is

[ Co ( NH 3 ) 4 Cl 2 ]Cl

So x is 4
