Hey,
[Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl
I don't understand how there isn't just one mole of Cl- ions formed when you dissolve one mole of the compound in water. The answer is '2 moles', but I don't see how :(
Another example is
[Co(NH3)4]Cl3
How many moles of ions are formed when 1 mole of this compound dissolves in water?
How is not just 3? The answer says it's 4 moles...
The questions are from this website, which I found quite helpful to quickly revise the topic.
