Question
100 mL of a 0.024 M solution of dichloridobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride is treated with excess $AgNO_3$. How many moles of $AgCl$ will be precipitated?
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
The complex is $[Co(en)_2Cl_2]Cl$. It yields 1 ionisable $Cl^-$ per formula unit. Moles of complex = $100 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.024 = 0.0024$. Thus, 0.0024 moles of $AgCl$ precipitate [1, 2].
