Question 11. One mole of the complex with molecular formula [Co(NH3)5Cl3] gives two moles of AgCl with excess of AgNO3. The complex is
  1.    [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl  
  2.    [Co(NH3)3Cl3].2NH3
  3.    [Co(NH3)4Cl]Cl2.NH3  
  4.    [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2
:
D
Two moles of AgCl with AgNO3 means that two ‘Cl’ atoms are ionisable. The third must be within the coordination sphere.
[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2[Co(NH3)5Cl]2++2Cl2AgNO3−−−−2NO3+2AgCl
Question 12. The highest molar conductivity will be in case of
  1.    [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2
  2.    [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl
  3.    [Co(NH3)6]Cl3
  4.    [Co(NH3)3Cl3]
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> [Co(NH3)6]Cl3
:
C
Per mole of the given compounds, [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 gives the highest number of moles of ions i.e, 4 moles.
Question 13. The hybridisation of Fe in [FeF6]3 is sp3d2, the number of unpaired electrons present is
  1.    2
  2.    4
  3.    5
  4.    1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5
:
C
Here, Fe3+ had d5 configuration and it is an outer orbital complex.
Question 14. Among the following, the poorest electrolytic conductor would be
  1.    K2[PtCl6]
  2.    [Co(NH3)3(NO2)3]
  3.    K4[Fe(CN)6]
  4.    [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl.2H2O
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> [Co(NH3)3(NO2)3]
:
B
It will be the one that doesn't produce any ions, i.e. a neutral complex
Question 15. Which one of the following cannot act as a ligand?
  1.    PH3
  2.    NO+
  3.    Cl−
  4.    BF3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> BF3
:
D
BF3 has no lone pair of electrons.
Question 16. The effective atomic number of Hg(At. No. 80) in the complex K2[HgI4] is
 
  1.    86
  2.    84
  3.    82
  4.    88
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 86
:
A
The complex ion is [HgI4]2 and the metal ion is Hg2+
E.A.N = 80 - 2 + 4(2) = 86.
Question 17. Which one of the following has the largest number of isomers?
  1.    [Co(en)2Cl2]+    
  2.    [Co(NH3)5Br]2+
  3.    [Ir(PPh3)](OH)(CO)]2+
  4.    [Ru(NH3)5Cl]2+
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> [Co(en)2Cl2]+    
:
A
[Co(en)2Cl2]+ gives both geometrical and optical isomers.
Question 18. The solution of the complex tetraamminecopper (II) sulphate in water
  1.    Will give the tests of Cu2+ ions
  2.    Will give the tests of NH3
  3.    Will give the tests of SO−24 ions
  4.    Will not give any test of the above species
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Will give the tests of SO−24 ions
:
C
[Cu(NH3)4]SO4[Cu(NH3)4]2++SO24
It will give test for SO24
