Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(3\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right] \mathrm{Cl}+\underset{\text { (excess) }}{\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}} \rightarrow \underset{\text { (white ppt) }}{3 \mathrm{AgCl}}\) Secondary valency of \(\mathrm{Co}=6\) \((C.N.)\)
