Cobalt (III) chloride forms several octahedral complexes with ammonia. Which of the following will not give test for chloride ions with silver nitrate at 25oC?
- ACoCl3 5NH3
- BCoCl3 6NH3
- CCoCl3 3NH3
- DCoCl3 4NH3
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
As For octahedral complexes, coordination number is 6.
CoCl3 . 3NH3 or [Co(NH3)3Cl3] will not give test for chloride ions with silver nitrate due to absence of ionisable chloride atoms.
