The hypothetical complex chloro diaquatriammine cobalt(III) chloride can be represented as

1. [CoCl(NH3)3(H2O)2]Cl2
2. [Co(NH3)3(H2O)Cl3]
3. [Co(NH2)3(H2O)2Cl]

In the silver plating of copper, K[Ag(CN)2] is used instead of AgNO3. The reason is

1. a thin layer of Ag is formed on Cu
2. more voltage is required
3. Ag+ ions are completely removed from solution
4. less availability of Ag+ ions, as Cu cannot displace Ag from [Ag(CN)2]- ion.

CuSO4 when reacts with KCN forms CuCN, which is insoluble in water. It is soluble in excess of KCN, due to formation of the following complex

1. K2[Cu(CN)4]
2. K3[Cu(CN)4]
3. CuCN2
4. Cu[KCu(CN)4]
