Correct answer: 26.80TO27.00

  1. Identify the compound and chloride ions released

    The compound is: [Co(NH3)6]Cl3[Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3[Co(NH3​)6​]Cl3​

    This is a coordination compound in which the complex ion is [Co(NH3)6]3+[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}[Co(NH3​)6​]3+ and there are 3 chloride ions outside the coordination sphere.

    Hence, 1 mole of [Co(NH3)6]Cl3[Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3[Co(NH3​)6​]Cl3​ gives 3 moles of Cl−Cl^-Cl−.

  2. Calculate moles of the compound

    Given mass: m=0.3 gm = 0.3\text{ g}m=0.3 g

    Molar mass: M=267.46 g mol−1M = 267.46\text{ g mol}^{-1}M=267.46 g mol−1

    So, n([Co(NH3)6]Cl3)=0.3267.46n\big([Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3\big)=\frac{0.3}{267.46}n([Co(NH3​)6​]Cl3​)=267.460.3​

    n([Co(NH3)6]Cl3)≈1.12166×10−3 moln\big([Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3\big) \approx 1.12166\times 10^{-3}\text{ mol}n([Co(NH3​)6​]Cl3​)≈1.12166×10−3 mol

  3. Calculate moles of chloride ions

    Since each mole gives 3 moles of Cl−Cl^-Cl−, n(Cl−)=3×1.12166×10−3n(Cl^-)=3\times 1.12166\times 10^{-3}n(Cl−)=3×1.12166×10−3

    n(Cl−)≈3.36498×10−3 moln(Cl^-)\approx 3.36498\times 10^{-3}\text{ mol}n(Cl−)≈3.36498×10−3 mol

  4. Reaction with silver nitrate

    The precipitation reaction is: Ag++Cl−→AgCl(s)Ag^+ + Cl^- \rightarrow AgCl(s)Ag++Cl−→AgCl(s)

    Thus, 111 mole of AgNO3AgNO_3AgNO3​ provides 111 mole of Ag+Ag^+Ag+ and precipitates 111 mole of Cl−Cl^-Cl−.

    Therefore, n(AgNO3)=n(Cl−)=3.36498×10−3 moln(AgNO_3)=n(Cl^-)=3.36498\times 10^{-3}\text{ mol}n(AgNO3​)=n(Cl−)=3.36498×10−3 mol

  5. Use molarity to find volume

    Given: M=0.125 mol L−1M = 0.125\text{ mol L}^{-1}M=0.125 mol L−1

    Using V=nMV=\frac{n}{M}V=Mn​

    V=3.36498×10−30.125V=\frac{3.36498\times 10^{-3}}{0.125}V=0.1253.36498×10−3​

    V=2.69198×10−2 LV=2.69198\times 10^{-2}\text{ L}V=2.69198×10−2 L

    Convert to mL: V=26.92 mLV=26.92\text{ mL}V=26.92 mL

  6. Final answer

    The required volume of 0.125 M0.125\,M0.125M AgNO3AgNO_3AgNO3​ is: 27 mL\boxed{27\text{ mL}}27 mL​ (more precisely, 26.92 mL26.92\text{ mL}26.92 mL)

  7. Comparison with stored correct answer

    Stored correct answer: 26.80 to 27.0026.80\text{ to }27.0026.80 to 27.00

    Our calculated value is 26.92 mL26.92\text{ mL}26.92 mL, which lies in this range. So the answer agrees.
