Solution

The correct option is B 1 : 2 electrolyte
When 0.1 mol CoCl3(NH3)5 is treated with excess of AgNO3, 0.2 mol of AgCl are obtained.
When 1 mol CoCl3(NH3)5 is treated with excess of AgNO3, 2 mol of AgCl will be obtained.
Hence, one molecule of CoCl3(NH3)5 dissociates to form two chloride ions. CoCl3(NH3)5 can be represented as [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2.
[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2[Co(NH3)5Cl]2++2Cl.
