The molecular formula of a cobalt coordination complex contains five ammonia molecules,one nitro group,and two chlorine atoms for one cobalt atom. In an aqueous solution,one mole of the substance produces $3$ moles of ions. Upon reacting this solution with an excess of silver nitrate solution,$2$ moles of $AgCl$ precipitate are obtained. What is the ionic formula of the complex?

  • A
    $[Co(NH_3)_4(NO_2)Cl] \cdot (NH_3)Cl$
  • B
    $[Co(NH_3)_5Cl] \cdot Cl(NO_2)$
  • C
    $[Co(NH_3)_5(NO_2)]Cl_2$
  • D
    $[Co(NH_3)_5(NO_2)_2]Cl_2$

Cobalt $(III)$ chloride forms several octahedral complexes with ammonia. Which of the following will not give a test for chloride ions with silver nitrate at $25 \ ^oC$?

Ammonia forms the complex ion $[Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$ with copper ions in alkaline solutions but not in acidic solution. What is the reason for it?

$A$ solution containing $2.675 \ g$ of $CoCl_3 \cdot 6 NH_3$ (molar mass $= 267.5 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) is passed through a cation exchanger. The chloride ions obtained in solution were treated with excess of $AgNO_3$ to give $4.78 \ g$ of $AgCl$ (molar mass $= 143.5 \ g \ mol^{-1}$). The formula of the complex is
(At. mass of $Ag = 108 \ u$)
