Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect Option (C) is correct.
CoCl3⋅4NH3 gives two ions when ionised. In this complex, two chloride ions exhibit dual character satisfying both primary and secondary valencies. It will give precipitate corresponding to only one Cl- ion and the number of ions in this case is 2.
It may be formulated as [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl and ionises as
