A complex of cobalt has five ammonia molecules, one nitro group and two chlorine atoms for each cobalt atom. One mole of this compound produces three mole ions in aqueous solution which on treating with excess of AgNO3\mathrm{AgN}{\mathrm{O}_3} give two mole of AgCl\mathrm{AgCl}. The formula of the compound is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
[Co(NH3)5NO2]Cl2\left[ {\mathrm{Co}{{\left( {\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)}_5}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{O}_2}} \right]\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{l}_2}
The correct answer is C ([Co(NH3)5NO2]Cl2\left[ {\mathrm{Co}{{\left( {\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)}_5}\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{O}_2}} \right]\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{l}_2}) because the complex produces three ions in solution, and two moles of AgCl are formed, indicating two chloride ions are outside the coordination sphere.
