Question
The number of chloride ions which would be precipitated when the complex PtCl4.4NH3 is treated with silver nitrate is:(here coordination number of platinum is 6).
Options
A.four
B.one
C.three
D.two
Solution
PtCl4.4NH3 ≡ [Pt(NH3)4Cl2]Cl2 
[Pt(NH3)4Cl2]2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq).
2Ag+ + 2Cl- → 2AgCl ↓ (white)
[Pt(NH3)4Cl2]2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq).2Ag+ + 2Cl- → 2AgCl ↓ (white)
