allery1 mol of CoCl₃·4NH₃ (green or violet) gives how many moles of AgCl?
A2
B1
C3
D0
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 1
CoCl₃·4NH₃ = **[CoCl₂(NH₃)₄]Cl**, a 1:1 electrolyte.
Only 1 Cl⁻ is outside the coord sphere → **1 mol AgCl**.
The other 2 Cl⁻ are coordinated to Co.
Green and violet are *cis*/*trans* geometrical isomers.
