Step 1
It dissociates in water to form cobalt (III) ions (Co3+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). Co(OH)3 (s) → Co3+ (aq) + 3OH- (aq) Show more…

A transition metal compound contains a cobalt ion, chloride ions, and water molecules. The $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ molecules are the ligands in the complex ion and the $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions are the counterions. A $0.256-\mathrm{g}$ sample of the compound was dissolved in water, and excess silver nitrate was added. The silver chloride was filtered, dried, and weighed, and it had a mass of $0.308 \mathrm{~g}$. A second sample of $0.416 \mathrm{~g}$ of the compound was dissolved in water, and an excess of sodium hydroxide was added. The hydroxide salt was filtered and heated in a flame, forming cobalt(III) oxide. The mass of cobalt(III) oxide formed was $0.145 \mathrm{~g}$. What is the oxidation state of cobalt in the complex ion and what is the formula of the compound?
