Medium INTEGER +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2023

Total number of moles of AgCl precipitated on addition of excess of AgNO$_3$ to one mole each of the following complexes $\mathrm{[Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Cl,[Ni(H_2O)_6]Cl_2,[Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2]}$ and $\mathrm{[Pd(NH_3)_4]Cl_2}$ is ___________.

Answer (integer) 5

Solution

$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right] \mathrm{Cl} \stackrel{\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{AgCl}$ <br/><br/> $$ \begin{aligned} & {\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \stackrel{\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{AgCl}} \\\\ & {\left[\mathrm{Pd}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \stackrel{\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{AgCl}} \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/> Total moles of $\mathrm{AgCl}$ precipitated $=5$
