Coordination CompoundHard

Question

Which of the following is correct for both the following coordination compounds ?
(I) CoCl3.6NH3 and (II) PtCl4.5NH3

Options

A.They give white precipitate with AgNO3 solution.
B.They have different primary valencies for the central metal ion
C.Both (A) and (B)
D.None of these

Solution

(I) [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 + 3Ag+ → 3AgCl↓ + [Co(NH3)6]3+
Co3+ → Primary valencies i.e. ionisable valency = 3.
(II) [Pt(NH3)5Cl]Cl3 + 3Ag+ → 3AgCl ↓ + [Pt(NH3)5Cl]3+
Pt4+ → Primary valencies = 4.
