Question

Predict the number of ions produced per formula unit in an aqueous solution

of [Co(en)3]Cl3​

Answer 1

Answer:

The total no. of ions Produced per formula unit in an aqueous solution of $[Co(en)_{3}]Cl_{3}$ is 6.

Explanation:

• when $[Co(en)_{3}]Cl_{3}$ is added to the aqueous solution then it break into ions create charges inside the solution as per their charge on them.
• On breaking these both kinds of charges are formed is positive and negative.
• These will break in the following manner $[Co(en)_{3}]^{+++}$ and $3 Cl^-$.
• Hence we see three positive charges and three negative charges are formed with the overall charge in the solution would be neutral.
