    When 0.01 mole of a cobalt complex is treated with excess silver nitrate solution, 4.305 g of silver chloride is precipitated. The formula of the complex is

    A)  \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}C{{l}_{3}}]\] 

    B)        \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{5}}Cl]C{{l}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]C{{l}_{3}}\]  

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

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The number of moles of\[AgCl\]precipitated \[=\frac{4.305}{143.5}=0.03\,mol\] \[\because \]The number of moles of\[AgCl\]obtainable from mole of complex = 0.03 mol \[\therefore \]The number of moles of\[AgCl\]obtainable from mol of complex = 3 mol i.e., 3 replacable chlorines are present in complex. Thus, the formula of the complex is \[[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]C{{l}_{3}}\].
