Detailed Solution

When a coordination compound CoCl3​.xNH3 is mixed with AgNO3​, 2 moles of AgCl are precipitated per mole of the compound. This indicates that in the coordination compound, all the two chlorine atoms are in the ionization sphere whereas five ammonia molecules and one Cl are in the coordination sphere.

CoNH35ClCl2+2AgNO3CoNH35Cl2++2AgCl2 mol

This means that the value of x is 5.
