An octahedral complex with the formula

\mathrm{CoCl}_3 \mathrm{nNH}_3

upon reaction with excess of

\mathrm{AgNO}_3

solution given 2 moles of

\mathrm{AgCl}

. Consider the oxidation state of Co in the complex is '

x

'. The value of "

x+n

" is ______.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

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.
