When a coordination compound PdCl2.4NH3 is mixed with AgNO3, 2 moles of AgCl are precipitated per mole of the compound, find structural formula and IUPAC name of compound
1 mole of AgCl requires 1 mole of Cl- ion.
So, 2 mole of AgCl requires 2 mole of Cl- ion.
So, 2 moles of Cl must exist outside the coordination sphere of the coordinate compound, i.e. exist as ion in the compound.
Hence the structural formula is [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2 and its IUPAC name is tetraamminepalladium(II) Chloride.
