Solution
The correct option is D[Co(H2O)4Cl2]Cl2.H2O Moles of CoCl3.6H2O→100mL×0.1M=10×10−3moles
Moles of ions precipitated with excess of AgNO3=1.2×10226.02×1023=0.02moles Number of Cl− in ionisation sphere =Mole of ion precipitated with excessAgNO3Mole of complex =0.020.01=2 It means 2 Cl− ions present in ionisation sphere So the answer is [Co(H2O)4Cl2]Cl2.H2O
