AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the given complex The complex given is CoCl₃·4NH₃·2H₂O. We need to determine its structural formula based on the information that its molar conductivity is the same as that of a 3:1 electrolyte. ### Step 2: Determine the coordination number Cobalt (Co) typically has a coordination number of 6 in coordination complexes. The ligands present are 4 ammonia (NH₃) and 2 water (H₂O) molecules, which can coordinate with cobalt. The 3 chloride ions (Cl⁻) will be outside the coordination sphere. ...
