The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the primary valency of the given hexacoordinated complexes based on their molecular formulas and the number of coordinated NH3 molecules. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Primary and Secondary Valency**: - Primary valency refers to the ionizable valency, which corresponds to the oxidation state of the central metal ion. It is represented by the ions that can dissociate in solution. - Secondary valency refers to the non-ionizable valency, which corresponds to the coordination number of the central metal ion. It is represented by the ligands directly attached to the metal. 2. **Analyzing the First Complex: CoCl3.6NH3**: - The molecular formula indicates that there are 3 chloride ions (Cl⁻) and 6 ammonia (NH3) molecules coordinated to cobalt. - Since Cl⁻ ions are ionizable, they represent the primary valency. - Therefore, the primary valency for CoCl3.6NH3 is **3** (from the 3 Cl⁻ ions). 3. **Analyzing the Second Complex: CoCl3.5NH3**: - Here, we have 3 chloride ions and 5 ammonia molecules coordinated to cobalt. - Again, the Cl⁻ ions are ionizable and represent the primary valency. - Thus, the primary valency for CoCl3.5NH3 is also **3**. 4. **Analyzing the Third Complex: CoCl3.4NH3**: - In this case, there are still 3 chloride ions and 4 ammonia molecules coordinated to cobalt. - The Cl⁻ ions remain the ionizable part, representing the primary valency. - Therefore, the primary valency for CoCl3.4NH3 is also **3**. 5. **Final Summary**: - The primary valencies for the complexes are: - For CoCl3.6NH3: **3** - For CoCl3.5NH3: **3** - For CoCl3.4NH3: **3** ### Final Answer: The primary valency in (1), (2), and (3) are **3, 3, and 3** respectively.
