The correct Answer is:
To determine the primary valency of the hexacoordinated complexes (A), (B), and (C), we need to analyze the given molecular formulas and their coordination with NH₃ and Cl⁻ ions. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Coordination Complexes**: - The complexes are: - (A) \[CoCl_3 \cdot 6NH_3\] - (B) \[CoCl_3 \cdot 5NH_3\] - (C) \[CoCl_3 \cdot 4NH_3\] - Each complex has a central cobalt ion (Co) surrounded by ligands (NH₃ and Cl⁻). 2. **Identifying the Coordination Number**: - The coordination number is the total number of ligand attachments to the central metal ion. In all three complexes, the coordination number is 6 (as indicated by the presence of 6 ligands in total). 3. **Determining the Primary Valency**: - The primary valency is related to the ionizable part of the complex, which is satisfied by negative charges (anions). - In these complexes, Cl⁻ ions are the ionizable components. 4. **Analyzing Each Complex**: - **For Complex (A)**: - \[CoCl_3 \cdot 6NH_3\] - There are 3 Cl⁻ ions. Therefore, the primary valency is 3. - **For Complex (B)**: - \[CoCl_3 \cdot 5NH_3\] - There are still 3 Cl⁻ ions, but since there are only 5 NH₃, 1 Cl⁻ is ionizable. Thus, the primary valency is also 3. - **For Complex (C)**: - \[CoCl_3 \cdot 4NH_3\] - Again, there are 3 Cl⁻ ions, but with only 4 NH₃, 2 Cl⁻ are ionizable. Thus, the primary valency is 3. 5. **Final Summary of Primary Valencies**: - For (A): Primary valency = 3 - For (B): Primary valency = 3 - For (C): Primary valency = 3 ### Final Answer: - The primary valencies for complexes (A), (B), and (C) are all 3.

To determine the primary valency of the hexacoordinated complexes (A), (B), and (C), we need to analyze the given molecular formulas and their coordination with NH₃ and Cl⁻ ions. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Coordination Complexes**: - The complexes are: - (A) \[CoCl_3 \cdot 6NH_3\] - (B) \[CoCl_3 \cdot 5NH_3\] ...
