The correct Answer is:
To represent the compound triamminediaquachloridocobalt(III) chloride according to the latest IUPAC nomenclature rules, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ligands and Their Counts**: - The name "triamminediaquachlorido" indicates the presence of: - **Triamine**: 3 ammonia (NH3) ligands - **Diaqua**: 2 water (H2O) ligands - **Chlorido**: 1 chloride (Cl-) ligand 2. **Determine the Central Metal and Its Oxidation State**: - The central metal is cobalt (Co). - The oxidation state of cobalt is indicated as (III), meaning it is in the +3 oxidation state. 3. **Construct the Coordination Sphere**: - The coordination sphere will consist of the central metal cobalt surrounded by the ligands. - The ligands are arranged in alphabetical order based on their names (ignoring the prefixes): - Amine (NH3) - Aqua (H2O) - Chlorido (Cl-) 4. **Write the Formula for the Coordination Complex**: - The coordination complex can be written as: - [Co(NH3)3(H2O)2(Cl)]^+3 - This indicates that cobalt is coordinated with three NH3, two H2O, and one Cl-. 5. **Account for the Counter Ions**: - Since the overall charge of the coordination complex is +3, we need to balance this with three chloride ions (Cl-) as counter ions to make the compound neutral. - Therefore, the complete formula will be: - [Co(NH3)3(H2O)2Cl]Cl3 6. **Final Representation**: - According to IUPAC nomenclature, the final representation of the compound is: - [Co(NH3)3(H2O)2Cl]Cl3 ### Final Answer: The compound triamminediaquachloridocobalt(III) chloride is correctly represented as [Co(NH3)3(H2O)2Cl]Cl3.
