A six co-ordinate complex has the formula `CoCl_(3).5NH_(3).H_(2)O`. Electrical coductance measurements indicate the presence of three ions in one formula unit. How many moles of `AgCl` will be percipated with excess `AgNO_(3)` solution with two mole of complex?

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the complex and its dissociation The complex given is \( CoCl_3 \cdot 5NH_3 \cdot H_2O \). It is a six-coordinate complex, which means the central metal ion (Co) is surrounded by six ligands. In this case, we have 5 ammonia (NH3) molecules and 1 chloride ion (Cl-) as ligands. ### Step 2: Determine the number of ions produced upon dissociation The electrical conductance measurements indicate that one formula unit of the complex produces three ions. This implies that: - 1 complex ion (which contains Co and the ligands) - 2 chloride ions (Cl-) Thus, the dissociation can be represented as: \[ CoCl_3 \cdot 5NH_3 \cdot H_2O \rightarrow [Co(NH_3)_5Cl]^{2+} + 2Cl^- \] ### Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of Cl- produced from 2 moles of the complex From the dissociation, we see that: - 1 mole of the complex produces 2 moles of Cl-. Therefore, if we have 2 moles of the complex: \[ 2 \text{ moles of complex} \rightarrow 2 \times 2 = 4 \text{ moles of Cl-} \] ### Step 4: Determine the reaction with AgNO3 When chloride ions (Cl-) react with silver nitrate (AgNO3), they form silver chloride (AgCl) as a precipitate: \[ Ag^+ + Cl^- \rightarrow AgCl \] Since we have 4 moles of Cl-, the reaction will yield: \[ 4 \text{ moles of Cl-} \rightarrow 4 \text{ moles of AgCl} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the total amount of AgCl precipitated when 2 moles of the complex react with excess AgNO3 is: \[ \text{4 moles of AgCl} \] ### Final Answer **4 moles of AgCl will be precipitated.** ---
