A coordiantion complex compound of cobalt has the molecular formula containing four ammonia molecules, one nitro group and two chlorine atoms. A solution of this complex was prepared by dissolving 2.44 g of it in water and making the volume to 200 mL. Excess of `AgNO_(3)` solution was then added to it and the precipitate of AgCl formed was filtered and dried. The weight of AgCl thus obtained was found to be 1.435 g (Atomic mass of Co=59, Ag=108)
The type of isomerism shown by the complex will be

A

linkage isomerism

B

Geometrical isomerism

C

Ionization isomerism

D

All the three

The correct Answer is:
To determine the type of isomerism shown by the coordination complex of cobalt with the given formula, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Complex The coordination complex has the following components: - 4 ammonia (NH₃) molecules - 1 nitro group (NO₂) - 2 chlorine (Cl) atoms The general formula for the complex can be written as: \[ \text{[Co(NH}_3\text{)}_4\text{(NO}_2\text{)}\text{Cl}_2] \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Molecular Mass of the Complex To find the molecular mass, we will sum the atomic masses of all the components: - Cobalt (Co) = 59 g/mol - Ammonia (NH₃) = 14 (N) + 3 (H) = 17 g/mol → 4 NH₃ = 4 × 17 = 68 g/mol - Nitro group (NO₂) = 14 (N) + 2 × 16 (O) = 46 g/mol - Chlorine (Cl) = 35.5 g/mol → 2 Cl = 2 × 35.5 = 71 g/mol Now, summing these: \[ \text{Molecular mass} = 59 + 68 + 46 + 71 = 244 \text{ g/mol} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Number of Moles of the Complex Using the mass of the complex dissolved: \[ \text{Mass of complex} = 2.44 \text{ g} \] \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molecular mass}} = \frac{2.44 \text{ g}}{244 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.01 \text{ moles} \] ### Step 4: Determine the Moles of AgCl Formed Given the mass of AgCl precipitate: \[ \text{Mass of AgCl} = 1.435 \text{ g} \] The molar mass of AgCl (Ag = 108 g/mol, Cl = 35.5 g/mol): \[ \text{Molar mass of AgCl} = 108 + 35.5 = 143.5 \text{ g/mol} \] Now, calculating the number of moles of AgCl: \[ \text{Number of moles of AgCl} = \frac{1.435 \text{ g}}{143.5 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.01 \text{ moles} \] ### Step 5: Relate Moles of Complex to Moles of Cl⁻ From the reaction, we see that: 1 mole of the complex produces 1 mole of Cl⁻ ions. Since we have 0.01 moles of AgCl, we also have 0.01 moles of Cl⁻ ions, confirming the stoichiometry. ### Step 6: Identify the Types of Isomerism 1. **Geometrical Isomerism**: The complex can exhibit cis and trans isomerism due to the arrangement of the ligands around the cobalt center. 2. **Ionization Isomerism**: The presence of Cl⁻ ions can lead to different isomers depending on whether Cl is inside or outside the coordination sphere. ### Conclusion The complex can show both geometrical and ionization isomerism. Therefore, the answer is that the type of isomerism shown by the complex will be **all three types of isomerism** (geometrical, ionization, and linkage).

To determine the type of isomerism shown by the coordination complex of cobalt with the given formula, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Complex The coordination complex has the following components: - 4 ammonia (NH₃) molecules - 1 nitro group (NO₂) - 2 chlorine (Cl) atoms ...
