When \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) solution is added in excess to \(1 \mathrm{M}\) solution of \(\mathrm{CoCl}_3 . X \mathrm{NH}_3\), one mole of \(\mathrm{AgCl}\) is formed. What is the value of ' \(X\) '?

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

It means that there is only one counter ion, i.e., the possible complex is \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right] \mathrm{Cl}\). Hence, \(X\) is 4 .
