View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
8
Option C (8) is correct because the complex gives 2 moles of AgCl, indicating two chloride ions outside the coordination sphere, leading to the formula [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2. Therefore, x=3 and n=5, so x+n=8.

Statement I: is more acidic compared to
Statement II: Both are inner orbital complexes
Statement II: Both are inner orbital complexes
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Statement I if false but statement II is correct
Statement I is false and Statement II is correct because [Cr(H2O)6]+3 is less acidic than [Fe(H2O)6]+3 due to the higher charge density of Fe3+, and both are indeed inner orbital complexes.
