DISCUSSION
CONCLUSION
The linkage isomers of isomers of pentaamminenitrocobalt(III) chloride and
pentaamminenitritocobalt(III) chloride complexes are synthesized. Two equations can be
derived from the experiments which are, the first one for pentaamminenitrocobalt(III)
chloride is
[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 + NaNO2 + H+ → [Co(NH3)5(NO2)]Cl2 + NaCl
while the second equation for synthesize of pentaamminenitritocobalt(III) chloride is
[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 + NaNO2 → [Co(NH3)5(ONO)]Cl2 + NaCl
The percentage yield for both complexes are determined by calculating using formula
𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑦𝑖𝑒𝑙𝑑
% yield = 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑦𝑖𝑒𝑑 x 100%
The percentage yield obtained for pentaamminenitrocobalt(III) chloride is 17.75% while for
pentaamminenitritocobalt(III) chloride is 74.26%.
