When the coordination compound CoCl₃.6NH₃ is mixed with AgNO₃ solution, three moles of AgCl are precipitated per mole of the compound. Write the structural formula of the complex compound.

Answer 1

\[\ce{[CO(NH3)6]Cl3-> [Co(NH3)6]^3+ + 3 Cl-}\]

\[\ce{3 AgNO3 + 3 Cl- -> 3AgCl + NO^-_3}\]

Structural formula of compound is [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl₃.
