The correct order of the stoichiometries of AgCl formed when AgNO3 in excess is treated with the complexes : CoCl3 6NH3, CoCl3 5NH3, CoCl3 4NH3 respectively is

  1. 3AgCl, 1AgCl, 2AgCl
  2. 3AgCl, 2AgCl, 1AgCl
  3. 2AgCl, 3AgCl, 2AgCl
  4. 1AgCl, 3AgCl, 2AgCl

Answer

(2) 3AgCl, 2AgCl, 1AgCl

Solution

Co(III) has coordination number 6; only the ionisable chloride ions (outside the coordination sphere) are precipitated as AgCl.

CoCl3 6NH3 = [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 ⇒ 3 AgCl

CoCl3 5NH3 = [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 ⇒ 2 AgCl

CoCl3 4NH3 = [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl ⇒ 1 AgCl

As per NCERT (Werner's experiments), these complexes give 3, 2 and 1 mol of AgCl respectively.
