The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction between the complex \( CoCl_3(NH_3)_5 \) and excess \( AgNO_3 \), and how it relates to the conductivity of the solution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Complex**: We start with the complex \( CoCl_3(NH_3)_5 \). This indicates that there are 3 chloride ions (Cl\(^-\)) coordinated to the cobalt ion and 5 ammonia (NH\(_3\)) ligands. 2. **Reaction with AgNO3**: When \( CoCl_3(NH_3)_5 \) is treated with excess \( AgNO_3 \), the chloride ions will react with silver nitrate to form silver chloride (AgCl). The reaction can be represented as: \[ CoCl_3(NH_3)_5 + 3AgNO_3 \rightarrow Co(NH_3)_5 + 3AgCl + 3NO_3^- \] 3. **Moles of AgCl Formed**: According to the problem, 0.2 moles of AgCl are formed. This indicates that all 3 chloride ions from the complex have reacted, and the excess AgNO\(_3\) ensures that all Cl\(^-\) ions are precipitated as AgCl. 4. **Determine the Chloride Ions**: Since 0.2 moles of AgCl are produced, and each mole of AgCl corresponds to one mole of Cl\(^-\), it implies that 0.2 moles of Cl\(^-\) were present in the solution. 5. **Calculate the Total Ions in Solution**: The complex \( CoCl_3(NH_3)_5 \) dissociates in solution to give: - 1 \( Co^{3+} \) ion - 3 \( Cl^- \) ions (which are precipitated as AgCl) - 5 \( NH_3 \) molecules (which do not contribute to conductivity as they are neutral) Hence, the total ions present in the solution before the reaction are: \[ 1 (Co^{3+}) + 3 (Cl^-) = 4 \text{ ions} \] 6. **Conductivity Contribution**: After the reaction, the \( Co^{3+} \) remains in the solution, and the \( Cl^- \) ions are precipitated out as AgCl. Therefore, the ions contributing to conductivity in the solution are: - 1 \( Co^{3+} \) ion - 0 \( Cl^- \) ions (since they are precipitated) - 5 \( NH_3 \) molecules (neutral, do not contribute) Thus, the total ions contributing to conductivity after the reaction is 1. 7. **Final Conductivity Ratio**: The final ratio of ions contributing to conductivity is: \[ 1 \text{ (from } Co^{3+}) : 0 \text{ (from } Cl^-) = 1:0 \] ### Conclusion: The conductivity of the solution corresponds to the presence of 1 ion from \( Co^{3+} \) and no contributing ions from \( Cl^- \) after the reaction.
