Q30 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2015 · Chemistry

When $\mathrm{AgNO}_3$ solution is added in excess to $1 \mathrm{M}$ solution of $\mathrm{CoCl}_3 . X \mathrm{NH}_3$, one mole of $\mathrm{AgCl}$ is formed. What is the value of ' $X$ '?

  • A
    $1$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $4$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $2$

Solution

It means that there is only one counter ion, i.e., the possible complex is $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right] \mathrm{Cl}$. Hence, $X$ is 4 .

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