Total number of moles of AgCl precipitated on addition of excess of AgNO 3 to one mole each of the following complexes Co NH 3 4 Cl 2 Cl , Ni H 2 O 6 Cl 2 , Pt NH 3 2 Cl 2 and Pd NH 3 4 Cl 2 is

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

Silver nitrate on reaction of chloride ion gives silver chloride as precipitate. Chloride ions outside of coordination sphere will only give precipitates. Thus,

[Co {({NH}_{3})}_{4} {Cl}_{2}] Cl \Rightarrow

Gives

1
