    On treatment of \[100 mL\] of \[0.1\]M solution of  \[{{\operatorname{CoCl}}_{3}}.6{{H}_{2}}O\]. With excess \[{{\operatorname{AgNO}}_{3}};1.2 \times  1{{0}^{22}}\] ions are precipitated. The complex is:

    A) \[\left[ Co{{\left( {{H}_{2}}O \right)}_{4}}C{{l}_{2}} \right]Cl.2{{H}_{2}}O\]

    B) \[\left[ Co{{\left( {{H}_{2}}O \right)}_{3}}C{{l}_{3}} \right].3{{H}_{2}}O\]

    C) \[\left[ Co{{\left( {{H}_{2}}O \right)}_{6}} \right]C{{l}_{3}}\]

    D) \[\left[ Co{{\left( {{H}_{2}}O \right)}_{5}}CI \right]C{{l}_{2}}.{{H}_{2}}O\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Moles of complex \[=\frac{Molarity\times Valume\left( mL \right)}{1000}\]\[=\frac{100\times 0.1}{1000}=0.01\operatorname{mole}\]
    Moles of ions precipitated with excess of \[{{\operatorname{AgNO}}_{3}}=\frac{1.2\times {{10}^{22}}}{6.02\times {{10}^{23}}}=0.02\operatorname{moles}\]
    Now, \[0.01\times n=0.02\]
    \[\therefore n=2\]
    It means \[2C{{l}^{-}}\]ions is present in ionization sphere \[\therefore Complex\,is\,\left[ Co{{\left( {{H}_{2}}O \right)}_{5}}Cl \right]C{{l}_{2}}.{{H}_{2}}O\]
