The correct order of the stoichiometries of AgCl formed when AgNO in excess is treated with the complexes: CoClNHCoClNHCoClNH respectively is
AgCl, AgCl, AgCl
AgCl, AgCl, AgCl
AgCl, AgCl, AgCl
AgCl, AgCl, AgCl
To solve this problem, we need to determine the number of chloride ions available for precipitation as AgCl when each complex is treated with excess The complexes given are:1. CoClNH2. CoClNH3. CoClNHThe formation of AgCl depends on the number of free chloride ions in the solution.Let's analyze each complex:1. CoClNH⢠This complex is known as hexaamminecobalt(III) chloride.⢠All 6 NH ligands are coordinated to the cobalt ion, leaving all 3 chloride ions free.⢠Therefore, 3 moles of AgCl will be formed.2. CoClNH⢠This complex is known as pentaamminechlorocobalt(III) chloride.⢠5 NH ligands are coordinated, and 1 chloride ion is also coordinated, leaving 2 chloride ions free.⢠Therefore, 2 moles of AgCl will be formed.3. CoClNH⢠This complex is known as tetraamminechlorocobalt(III) chloride.⢠4 NH ligands are coordinated, and 2 chloride ions are also coordinated, leaving 1 chloride ion free.⢠Therefore, 1 mole of AgCl will be formed.Thus, the correct order of stoichiometries of AgCl formed is: AgCl, AgCl, AgCl.This corresponds to Option 2.
