Detailed Solution

When 0.1 mole of CoCl3 (NH3)5 was reacted with excess of AgNO3, we get 0.2 moles of AgCl. So, there are two chloride ions that are free and not part of the complex. The formula for complex has to be [Co(NH3)5 Cl] Cl2.

CoNH35ClCl2CoNH35Cl2++2Cl

Therefore, the conductivity of the solution will be 1 : 2 electrolyte.
