A complex has empirical formula, PtCl_(2).2 NH_(3). When ground with AgNO_(3), it gives [Pt(NH_(3))_(4)(NO_(3))_(2)] and an insoluble slid Ag_(2)[PtCl_(4)] was also obtained. Name and mention the structure of the complex.

Answer»

Solution :`2 PtCl_(2).2 NH_(3)+2 AgNO_(3)rarr[Pt(NH_(3))_(4)(NO_(3))_(2)]+Ag_(2)[PtCl_(4)]`
On reaction with `AgNO_(3)`, no AgCl is formed as `Cl^(-)` ions are PRESENT as ligands in the COMPLEX `Ag_(2)[PtCl_(4)]`. Hence, the given complex must be
`[PtCl_(2)(NH_(3))_(2)] or [Pt(NH_(3))_(4)][PtCl_(4)]`
In the first CASE, molecular formula is same as empirical formula.
IUPAC name of `[PtCl_(2)(NH_(3))_(2)]` = diammine dichloridoplatinum (II).
In the second case, molecular formula is double of empirical formula.
IUPAC name of `[Pt(NH_(3))_(4)][PtCl_(4)]`= tetraammine PLATINUM (II) tetraachloridoplatinate (II).
