Question

An isomer of the complex CoBrCl2(en)2(H2O), on reaction with concentrated H2SO4 (dehydrating agent), suffers no loss in weight and on reaction with AgNO3 solution it gives only white precipitate, which is soluble in NH3 solution.

The correct formula of the complex is:

A
[CoBr(H2O)(en)2]Cl2

Solution

The correct option is A [CoBr(H2O)(en)2]Cl2
If there is no loss of weight with concentrated H2SO4 then complex does not have water of crystallisation, complex gives white precipitate of AgCl.
Hence, the complex is [CoBr(H2O)(en)2]Cl2
