    The correct formula of the complex tetraammineaquachlorocobalt (III) chloride is

    A)  \[[Cl({{H}_{2}}O){{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}Co]Cl\]

    B)  \[[CoCl({{H}_{2}}O){{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]Cl\]

    C)  \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}({{H}_{2}}O)Cl]Cl\]

    D)  \[[CoCl({{H}_{2}}O){{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]C{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     The  correct formula  of the  complex tetraammine aqua chlorocobalt (III) chloride is \[[CoCl({{H}_{2}}O){{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]C{{l}_{2}}\], because in it the oxidation number of \[Co\] is \[+3\]. \[[CoCl({{H}_{2}}O){{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]C{{l}_{2}}\] \[x+(-1)+0+(0\times 4)+(-1)2=0\] \[x-3=0\] \[x=+3\]
