Question

A solution containing 2 675g of CoCl3 6NH3 is
passed through a cation exchanger The chloride ions obtained in the
solution were treated with excess of AgNO3to give 4 78of AgCl The
formula of the complex ??

Mass of CoCl3 6NH3=2
675 gMolecular mass of CoCl3 6NH3= 267
5 g mol-1Number of moles of CoCl3
6NH3=massmolecular mass=2 675267 50=0
01 molesMass of AgCl obtained = 4
78 gNumber of moles of AgCl = 4
78143 5=0 03 molesSince, 0
01 moles of the complex give 0
03 moles of AgCl on reaction with AgNO3, this indicates that it contains 3 ionisable chlorines
So, the formula of the complex is: [Co(NH3)6 ]Cl3
