When a coordination compound CoCl3.6NH3 is mixed with AgNO3, 3 moles of AgCl are precipitated per mole of the compound. Write IUPAC name of the complex.
Dear Student
In this reaction if 3 moles of AgCl is formed, this shows Cl is present as chloride (counter ion) to the coordination sphere containi 6 NH3 and Co.
Thus, complex is [Co(NH3)6]3+ and the IUPAC name is hexammine cobalt(III)
