Correct answer: 5

We need the total moles of AgCl\mathrm{AgCl}AgCl formed when 1 mole each of the given complexes is treated with excess AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO_3}AgNO3​.

Key idea

AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO_3}AgNO3​ precipitates only those chloride ions which are present as counter ions (ionisable chloride) outside the coordination sphere.

Chloride ligands inside the coordination sphere do not immediately precipitate with Ag+\mathrm{Ag^+}Ag+ in this context.


1. [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl\mathrm{[Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Cl}[Co(NH3​)4​Cl2​]Cl

Here, the complex is:

  • Coordination sphere: [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+\mathrm{[Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]^+}[Co(NH3​)4​Cl2​]+
  • Outside chloride: 111

So, from 111 mole of this complex: 1 mole of Cl−⇒1 mole of AgCl1 \text{ mole of } \mathrm{Cl^-} \Rightarrow 1 \text{ mole of } \mathrm{AgCl}1 mole of Cl−⇒1 mole of AgCl


2. [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2\mathrm{[Ni(H_2O)_6]Cl_2}[Ni(H2​O)6​]Cl2​

Here, the complex is:

  • Coordination sphere: [Ni(H2O)6]2+\mathrm{[Ni(H_2O)_6]^{2+}}[Ni(H2​O)6​]2+
  • Outside chloride: 222

So, from 111 mole of this complex: 2 moles of Cl−⇒2 moles of AgCl2 \text{ moles of } \mathrm{Cl^-} \Rightarrow 2 \text{ moles of } \mathrm{AgCl}2 moles of Cl−⇒2 moles of AgCl


3. [Pt(NH3)2Cl2]\mathrm{[Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2]}[Pt(NH3​)2​Cl2​]

This is a neutral complex. Both chloride ions are inside the coordination sphere as ligands. There is no ionisable chloride outside.

So, from 111 mole of this complex: 0 mole of AgCl0 \text{ mole of } \mathrm{AgCl}0 mole of AgCl


4. [Pd(NH3)4]Cl2\mathrm{[Pd(NH_3)_4]Cl_2}[Pd(NH3​)4​]Cl2​

Here, the complex is:

  • Coordination sphere: [Pd(NH3)4]2+\mathrm{[Pd(NH_3)_4]^{2+}}[Pd(NH3​)4​]2+
  • Outside chloride: 222

So, from 111 mole of this complex: 2 moles of Cl−⇒2 moles of AgCl2 \text{ moles of } \mathrm{Cl^-} \Rightarrow 2 \text{ moles of } \mathrm{AgCl}2 moles of Cl−⇒2 moles of AgCl


5. Total moles of AgCl\mathrm{AgCl}AgCl

Adding all contributions: 1+2+0+2=51 + 2 + 0 + 2 = 51+2+0+2=5

Final Answer

5\boxed{5}5​


Comparison with stored correct answer

Stored correct answer = 555

Our derived answer = 555

So, the answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
