Question:

The number of moles of AgCl precipitated when excess AgNO$_3$ solution is mixed with one mole of [Co(NH$_3$)$_6$]Cl$_3$ is:

Show Hint

When complex salts like [Co(NH$_3$)$_6$]Cl$_3$ dissociate, count the number of chloride ions to predict the amount of AgCl precipitated.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

In this reaction, one mole of [Co(NH$_3$)$_6$]Cl$_3$ contains 3 moles of Cl$^-$ ions. The excess AgNO$_3$ will react with only one of them to precipitate AgCl. Hence, only 1 mole of AgCl is formed.
