Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

Since a precipitate of AgCl is obtained on treatment with silver nitrate, but no precipitate of AgBr, is obtained, chlorine is present in the ionization sphere and bromine is present in the coordination sphere.

Since conductance measurements show two ions per formula unit, all the ammonia ligands are present in the coordination sphere. Hence, the structural formula is [CoBr
