The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the complex `CoBrCl₂(en)₂(H₂O)`, we need to analyze the information provided and determine which statement about the complex is incorrect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Complex**: The complex given is `CoBrCl₂(en)₂(H₂O)`. Here, `en` stands for ethylenediamine, which is a bidentate ligand. The complex contains cobalt as the central metal ion, bromide (Br⁻), chloride (Cl⁻), ethylenediamine ligands, and a water molecule (H₂O). 2. **Reaction with Concentrated H₂SO₄**: The complex reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), which is a dehydrating agent. The fact that it suffers no loss in weight indicates that the water molecule (H₂O) is likely coordinated to the cobalt ion. If it were not coordinated, it would be lost during the reaction, resulting in a loss of weight. 3. **Reaction with AgNO₃**: When the complex reacts with silver nitrate (AgNO₃), it produces a white precipitate. The white precipitate can be due to the formation of silver chloride (AgCl), which is known to be a white solid. The fact that this precipitate is soluble in ammonia (NH₃) suggests that the chloride ion is outside the coordination sphere, as AgCl dissolves in ammonia to form a complex. 4. **Geometrical Isomerism**: The complex can exhibit geometrical isomerism due to the presence of two different types of ligands (Br and Cl) and the bidentate nature of `en`. This allows for cis and trans isomers to exist. 5. **Optical Activity**: The cis isomer of the complex is optically active because it lacks a plane of symmetry, while the trans isomer is optically inactive due to the presence of a plane of symmetry. 6. **Identifying Incorrect Statement**: Now, we need to identify the incorrect statement about the complex: - **Statement 1**: It can show geometrical isomerism. (Correct) - **Statement 2**: The cis isomer is optically active. (Correct) - **Statement 3**: The trans isomer is optically active. (Incorrect) - **Statement 4**: It can show solvate isomerism. (Correct) ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement about the complex is that the trans isomer is optically active. Therefore, the answer is **Statement 3**.
