Question

Assertion :Statement $-$ 1 : $\left[Co{\left(N{H}_3\right)}_{3}C{l}_3\right]$ does not give a white precipitate with $AgN{O}_3$ solution. Reason: Statement $-$ 2 : Chlorine is not present in the ionisation sphere of $\left[Co{\left(N{H}_3\right)}_{3}C{l}_3\right]$

• A. Statement $-$ 1 is true, Statement $-$ 2 is true and Statement $-$ 2 is correct explanation for Statement $-$ 1.
• B. Statement $-$ 1 is true, Statement $-$ 2 is true and Statement $-$ 2 is NOT the correct explanation for Statement $-$ 1.
• C. Statement $-$ 1 is true, Statement $-$ 2 is false.
• D. Statement $-$ 1 is false, Statement $-$ 2 is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Statement $-$ 1 is true, Statement $-$ 2 is true and Statement $-$ 2 is correct explanation for Statement $-$ 1.

As $\left[Co{\left(N{H}_3\right)}_{3}C{l}_3\right]$ is not giving any precipitate with silver nitrate means on ionization it is not giving any chloride ions in solution so chlorine is not present in the ionisation sphere of $\left[Co{\left(N{H}_3\right)}_{3}C{l}_3\right]$.
