Cobalt Complex Titration Analysis

The document presents a chemistry problem involving the titration of a cobalt-ammonia complex with hydrochloric acid to determine its formula. A 1.8 g sample of the complex required 20.00 mL of 1.54 M HCl, and the subsequent reaction with AgNO₃ produced 7.735 g of AgCl precipitate. The goal is to derive the formula of the cobalt complex based on the provided data and stoichiometric calculations.

Chemistry Problem: Determining the Formula of a Cobalt Complex

A complex of cobalt with ammonia is analyzed for determining its formula, by


titrating it against a standardized acid as follows:

Co(NH₃)ₓClᵧ(aq) + HCl → NH₄⁺(aq) + Coʸ⁺⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

A 1.8 g complex required 20.00 mL of 1.54 M HCl to reach the equivalence point.
Also, if the reaction mixture at the equivalence point is treated with excess AgNO₃
solution, 7.735 g of AgCl precipitate was produced.

What is the formula of this complex?

[Given: Atomic weight of Co = 59 g/mol]
