On treatment of 100   mL of 0 . 1   M solution of CoCl 3 . 6 H 2 O with excess AgNO 3 ;   1 …

On treatment of 100 mL of 0.1 M solution of CoCl3.6H2O with excess AgNO3; 1.2×1022 ions are precipitated. The complex is:
  1. CoH2O3Cl3.3H2O
  2. CoH2O6Cl3
  3. CoH2O5ClCl2. H2O
  4. CoH2O4Cl2Cl.2H2O

Solution

Moles of CoCl3.6H2O=100×0.1×10-3=10-2mole

Moles of Cl- ions precipitated=1.2×10226×1023=2×10-2 mole

So, one mole of complex will release two moles of chloride ions so, formula of complex is 

CoH2O5ClCl2. H2O
