Question

Tetraamine aqua chlorido cobalt iii chloride formula

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: [CO (NH3)4 (H2O) CL) CL2

Answer 2

Answer: $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)(Cl)]Cl_2$

Explanation:

Rules for naming of the coordination compounds :

The ligand named first then metal.

The charge of metal indicated with the Roman numerals and enclosed in the parenthesis after metal name.

The ligands are named in alphabetical order before the metal ion.

If the complex ion is an anion, we drop the ending of the metal name and add –ate.  If it is a cation , the metal is named as such followed by the oxidation state in brackets.

In the given coordination compound, Co is the cobalt metal, $H_2O$ , $NH_3$ and $Cl$ are the ligands named as aqua, ammine and chlorido respectively.

Hence, the formula for Tetraamine aqua chlorido cobalt iii chloride is  $[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)(Cl)]Cl_2$
