The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given complex compound `Co(NH3)5Cl3` based on the information provided. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Dissociation of the Complex**: - The complex `Co(NH3)5Cl3` dissociates in water to produce ions. According to the question, 1 mole of this complex gives 3 moles of ions upon dissolution. - The dissociation can be represented as: \[ Co(NH3)_5Cl_3 \rightarrow Co(NH3)_5^{3+} + 3Cl^{-} \] - Here, the complex ion `Co(NH3)5^{3+}` is a cation and the chloride ions `Cl^{-}` are anions. 2. **Counting the Ions**: - From the dissociation, we can see that: - 1 mole of `Co(NH3)5^{3+}` produces 1 mole of cation. - 3 moles of `Cl^{-}` produce 3 moles of anions. - Therefore, the total number of moles of ions produced is: \[ 1 \text{ (cation)} + 3 \text{ (anions)} = 4 \text{ moles of ions} \] - However, we need to ensure that the total count aligns with the information given in the question, which states that 1 mole of the complex gives 3 moles of ions. 3. **Analyzing the Reaction with AgNO3**: - The complex reacts with 2 moles of `AgNO3` to yield 2 moles of `AgCl(s)`. - This indicates that 2 chloride ions are involved in the reaction, which suggests that there are 2 chloride ions outside the coordination sphere of the complex. - Therefore, the structure of the complex can be inferred as: \[ Co(NH3)_5Cl^{2+} + 2Cl^{-} \] - This means that the complex has 5 ammonia ligands and 1 chloride ion coordinated to cobalt. 4. **Final Structure of the Complex**: - The final structure of the complex can be written as: \[ [Co(NH3)_5Cl]^{2+} + 2Cl^{-} \] - This confirms that the complex is indeed `Co(NH3)5Cl2`, which aligns with the information provided. 5. **Conclusion**: - The complex that satisfies both conditions (dissociating to give 3 moles of ions and reacting with 2 moles of `AgNO3` to yield 2 moles of `AgCl`) is: \[ [Co(NH3)_5Cl]Cl_2 \] ### Final Answer: The complex is `Co(NH3)5Cl2`. ---
