A coordinate complex contains \(\mathrm{Co}^{3+}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)and \(\mathrm{NH}_3\). When dissolved in water, one mole of this complex gave a total of 3 moles of ions. The complex is

  1. A \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right] \mathrm{Cl}_3\)
  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Cl}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right] \mathrm{Cl}\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{Cl}_3\right]\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5 \mathrm{Cl}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When the complex dissolved in water, it gives three ions, which shows that two \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)ions are present outside the coordination sphere. \(\therefore\) The formula of the complex is…
