Coordination Compounds Question 7

Question 7 - 25 January - Shift 2

Total number of moles of $AgCl$ precipitated on addition of excess of $AgNO_3$ to one mole each of the following complexes $[Co(NH_3)_4 Cl_2] Cl$, $[Ni(H_2 O)_6] Cl_2,[Pt(NH_3)_2 Cl_2]$ and $[Pd(NH_3)_4] Cl_2$ is

Show Answer

Answer: (5)

Solution:

Formula: Werners theory

$[Co(NH_3)_4 Cl_2] Cl \Rightarrow$ Gives 1 mole $AgCl$

$[Ni(H_2 O)_6] Cl_2 \Rightarrow$ Gives 2 moles $AgCl$

$[Pt(NH_3)_2 Cl_2] \Rightarrow$ Gives No AgCl

$[Pd(NH_3)_4] Cl_2 \Rightarrow$ Gives 2 moles $AgCl$

Total number of moles of $AgCl=5$ mole
