Question

A solution containing 2.675 g of CoCl3.6NH3 (molar mass = 267.5 g mol-1) is passed through a cation exchanger. The chloride ions obtained in solution were treated with excess of AgNO3 to give 4.78 g of AgCl (molar mass = 143.5 g mol-1). The formula of the complex is (Atomic mass of Ag = 108 u)
