What's the balanced chemical equation of the synthesis of [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 from Co(NO3)2.6H2O? The reactants used in the experiment, other than Co(NO3)2.6H2O, are NH3, NH4Cl, HCl, and H2O2.

Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 from Co(NO3)2.6H2O, NH3, NH4Cl, HCl, and H2O2 is as follows:

Co(NO3)2.6H2O + 6NH3 + 2NH4Cl + 2HCl + 2H2O2 → [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 + 6HNO3 + 8H2O

This reaction involves the complexation of cobalt with ammonia and chloride ions to form the desired product [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2.
