Question

One mole of the octahedral complex compound $Co(NH_3)_5Cl_3$ gives $3$ moles of ions on dissolution in water. One mole of the same complex reacts with excess of $AgNO_3$ solution to yield two moles of $AgCl(s)$ . The structure of the complex is:

A
$[Co(NH_3)_5Cl]Cl_2$
B
$[Co(NH_3)_4Cl]\cdot Cl_2NH_3$
C
$[Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]Cl\cdot NH_3$
D
$[Co(NH_3)_3Cl_3]\cdot 2NH_3$
