Question:

A student has prepared a cobalt complex that has one of the following three structures: [Co(NH3)6]Cl3, [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2, or [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl. Explain how the student would distinguish between these possibilities by an electrical conductance experiment. At the student's disposal are three strong electrolytes-NaCl, MgCl2, and FeCl3-which may be used for comparison purposes.
