Question:

Match the entries of column I with appropriate entries of column II and choose the correct option out of the four options given.

Column I (Compound) Column II (Oxidation state of Co)
(a) [Co(NCS)(NH3)5](SO3) (i) +4
(b) [Co(NH3)4Cl2]SO4 (ii) 0
(c) Na4[Co(S2O3)3] (iii) +2
(d) [Co2(CO)8] (iv) +3

 

Options:

(a)-(ii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)

(a)-(iii), (b)-(i), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii)

(a)-(i), (b)-(iv), (c)-(iii), (d)-(ii)

(a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(iii), (d)-(ii)

Correct Answer:

(a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(iii), (d)-(ii)

Explanation:

(a) [Co(NCS)(NH3)5](SO3) = x - 1 + 0 = +2 ⇒ x = 3

(b) [Co(NH3)4Cl2]SO4 = x + 0 - 2 = +2 ⇒ x = 4

(c) Na4[Co(S2O3)3] = x - 6 = -4 ⇒ x = +2

(d) [Co2(CO)8] = 2x + 0 = 0 ⇒ x = 0
