Question:

A pink solid has the formula CoCl3.5NH3.H2O. A solution of this salt is also pink and rapidly gives 3 mol AgCl on titration with silver nitrate solution. When the pink solid is heated, it loses 1 mol H2O to give a purple solid with the same ratio of NH3:Cl:Co. The purple solid, on dissolution and titration with AgNO3, releases two of its chlorides rapidly. Deduce the structures of the two octahedral complexes and draw and name them.
