Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Option (C) is correct.

CoCl34NH3 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

[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl[Co(NH3)4Cl2]++Cl
