Solution

The correct option is A
$C o C l_{3} .3 N H_{3}$

$[C o (N H_{3})_{6}] C l_{3} \to [C o (N H_{3})_{6}]^{3 +} + 3 C l^{-} [C o (N H_{3})_{3} C l_{3}] \to [C o (N H_{3})_{3} C l_{3}] [C o (N H_{3})_{4} C l_{2}] C l \to [C o (N H_{3})_{4} C l_{2}]^{+} + C l^{-} [C o (N H_{3})_{5} C l] C l_{2} \to [C o (N H_{3})_{5} C l]^{2 +} + 2 C l^{-}$
So, $[C o (N H_{3})_{3} C l_{3}]$ does not ionise so does not give test for chloride ions.

The correct option is A CoCl3.3NH3[Co(NH3)6]Cl3→[Co(NH3)6]3++3Cl−[Co(NH3)3Cl3]→[Co(NH3)3Cl3][Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl→[Co(NH3)4Cl2]++Cl−[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2→[Co(NH3)5Cl]2++2Cl− So, [Co(NH3)3Cl3] does not ionise so does not give test for chloride ions.
