Solution

The correct option is A 2
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.
