For the reaction given below: CoCl 3 .   xNH 3 + AgNO 3 aq → If two equivalents of AgCl…

For the reaction given below:

CoCl3. xNH3+AgNO3aq

If two equivalents of AgCl precipitate out, then the value of x will be _______

Solution

CoCl3.xNH3+AgNO3AgCl2 mol

For 2 moles of AgCl precipitate out,only two chloride ions should be present out side the coordination sphere that is in the ionization sphere.

Hence, the formula of the complex should be CoNH35ClCl2

CoNH35ClCl2+AgNO3AgCl2 mol

So, the value of x should be 5.

x=5.
