A{'text': '0', 'label': 'A'}
B{'text': '1', 'label': 'B'}
C{'text': '2', 'label': 'C'}
D{'text': '3', 'label': 'D'}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. {'text': '1', 'label': 'B'}
1. Formula is [CoCl₂(NH₃)₄]Cl. 2. Only 1 chloride sits outside the coordination sphere (ionisable). 3. So only 1 mol AgCl precipitates per mol. 4. The complex is a 1:1 electrolyte. _Source: NCERT Class 12 Chemistry, Unit 5 "Coordination Compounds", §5.1_
