An octahedral complex with the formula \(\mathrm{CoCl}_3 \mathrm{nNH}_3\) upon reaction with excess of \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) solution given 2 moles of \(\mathrm{AgCl}\). Consider the oxidation state of Co in the complex is ' \(x\) '. The value of ' \(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{n}\) ' is _______.

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(8\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left.\left[\stackrel{+3}{\mathrm{Co}}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Cl}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2+\text { excess } \mathrm{AgNO}_3 \longrightarrow 2 \text { moles }\right)\) \(\mathrm{x}+0-1-2=0\) \(\mathrm{x}=+3\) \(\mathrm{n}=5\) \(\therefore \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{n}=8\)
