  • Correct answer
    A
    $\left[\mathrm{CoCl}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_2\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2$
  • B
    $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right) \mathrm{Cl}_3\right]$
  • C
    $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_2\right)_3\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_2 \mathrm{Cl}\right]$
  • D
    $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_3 \mathrm{Cl}_3\right]$

Solution

The hypothetical complex chlorodiaquatriamminecobalt (III) chloride can be represented as $\left[\mathrm{CoCl}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_3\right.$ $\left.\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_2\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
