The correct order of the stoichiometries of AgCl formed when AgNO3 in excess is treated with the complexes : CoCl3.6NH3, CoCl3.5NH3, CoCl3.4NH3 respectively is :
1 AgCl, 3 AgCl, 2 AgCl
3 AgCl, 1 AgCl, 2 AgCl
3 AgCl, 2 AgCl, 1 AgCl
2 AgCl, 3 AgCl, 1 AgCl
As we learned in concept
Stoichiometry -
Stoichiometry deals with measurements of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
- wherein
aA (g) + bB (g) → cC (g) + dD (g)
Here, ‘a’ moles of A(g) reacts with ‘b’ moles of B(g) to give ‘c’ mole of C(g) and ‘d’ moles of D(g)
The number of Cl atoms not in the cordinate comples are free to precipitate as Agcl.
Co forms a complex with 6 ligands with NH3 molecules with priority are Cl here
Similarly 2Cl will precipitate
CoCl3 .4HN3 1Cl will precipitate
