Solution
The correct option is A2 Moles of AgCl formed =143.5143.5=1
1 mole of CoCl3 gives 1 mol of AgCl ppt.
Secondary valence is the number of ions that are coordinated to metal ion. Here, 1Cl− ion is not coordinated to the metal ion, due to which it gives AgCl ppt. Hence, no. of chloride ions satisfying the given condition =2.
