Solution

The correct option is D [Co(H2O)4Cl2]Cl2.H2O
Moles of CoCl3.6H2O100 mL×0.1 M=10×103moles

Moles of ions precipitated with excess of AgNO3=1.2×10226.02×1023=0.02 moles
Number of Cl in ionisation sphere =Mole of ion precipitated with excess AgNO3Mole of complex
=0.020.01=2
It means 2 Cl ions present in ionisation sphere
So the answer is [Co(H2O)4Cl2]Cl2.H2O
