Vedclass · Answer

(A) The formation of two moles of $AgCl$ precipitate indicates that there are two ionizable chloride ions outside the coordination sphere. Therefore,the complex can be represented as $[Co(NH_3)_5Cl]Cl_2$. In this structure,the two chloride ions outside the square brackets satisfy the primary valency,while the one chloride ion inside the coordination sphere satisfies both the primary and secondary valency. The reaction is: $[Co(NH_3)_5Cl]Cl_2 + 2AgNO_3 	o [Co(NH_3)_5Cl](NO_3)_2 + 2AgCl$.

When $AgNO_3$ is added to a solution of $Co(NH_3)_5Cl_3$,the precipitate of $AgCl$ shows two ionizable chloride ions. This means
