An octahedral complex with the formula \(\mathrm{CoCl}_3 \cdot \mathrm{nNH}_3\) upon reaction with excess of \(\mathrm{AgNO}_3\) solution gives 2 moles of \(\mathrm{AgCl}\). Consider the oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Co}\) in the complex is ' \(x\) '. The value of " \(x+n\) " is ______
  1. 6
  2. 8
  3. 3
  4. 5

Solution


$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{x}+0-1-2=0 \\ & \mathrm{x}=+3 \\ & \mathrm{n}=5 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{n}=8\end{aligned}$
