When a coordination compound PtCl4.6NH3 is mixed with AgNO3, 4 moles 1 of AgCl are precipitated per mole of the compound. Write the structure and IUPAC name of the complex.
Dear Student,
Please find below the solution for your asked query:
1 mole of AgCl requires 1 mole of Cl- ion.
So, 4 mole of AgCl requires 4 moles of Cl- ion.
So, 4 moles of Cl must exist outside the coordination sphere of the coordinate compound, i.e. exist as an ion in the compound.
Hence the structural formula is [Pt(NH3)6]Cl4 and its IUPAC name is Hexaammineplatinum(IV)Chloride.
Hope this helps!
Regards
