Show full solutionCorrect option: D
Correct answer
DCrH2O6Cl3

Step-by-step explanation

The number of ions will be precipitated only which are out of coordination sphere in given complexes.

[Cr(H2O)6]Cl3(aq)    ⇄   [Cr(H2O)6]3+(aq)  + 3Cl−(aq)
3Ag+  +  3Cl−  →3AgCl↓  (White)

More Equivalents of AgNO3 aqueous solution will be consumed by more Cl- ions given by the complex

Cl-aq+AgNO3→AgCl↓+NO3-aq
