Question

One mole of the complex compound CO(NH3)5Cl3 gives 3 moles of ions on dissolution in water.On a mole of the same complex reacts with 2 moles of AgNO3 solution to yield 2 moles of AgCl(s).The structure of complex is

Answer 1

it's answer should be [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2

Answer 2

Answer:

As the complex gives 2 moles of AgCl on reaching with 2 moles of AgNo₃ solution which confirms that there are two chloride ions which fulfills primary valencies.

The compound can be [Co(NH₃)Cl]Cl₂.

As thus compound also gives 3 ions on dissolution in water hence the compound [Co(NH₃)Cl]Cl₂ is confirmed.
