Options
A.$\left\lbrack Co\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{4}\left( H_{2}O \right)Cl \right\rbrack Cl$
B.$\left\lbrack Co\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{4}\left( H_{2}O \right)Cl \right\rbrack{Cl}_{2}$
C.$\left\lbrack Co\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{4}{Cl}_{2} \right\rbrack \times H_{2}O$
D.$\left\lbrack Co\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{4} \right\rbrack{Cl}_{3} \times H_{2}O$
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Coordination nomenclature → molecular formula] Tetraammineaquachloridocobalt(III) chloride is $\left\lbrack Co\left( {NH}_{3} \right)_{4}\left( H_{2}O \right)Cl \right\rbrack{Cl}_{2}$.
