How many moles of AgCl are precipitated when 1 mole of [CoCl(NH₃)5]Cl₂ is treated with excess AgNO₃?

In [CoCl(NH₃)5]Cl₂, the two Cl− ions outside the coordination sphere are ionizable and precipitate as AgCl. The Cl inside is bonded to Co and does not precipitate. Thus, 2 moles of AgCl form.

How many moles of NaCl are present in 500 mL of a 2M solution?

1 is the correct answer as it accurately identifies the biological location, composition, or distribution described in this question. In Water and Mole Concept, the spatial organization and localization of molecules are critical to their function. 1 is specifically associated with the structure or compartment mentioned because of its unique biochemical properties and physiological role. The other options (0.5, 2, and 4) are primarily associated with different cellular compartments, tissues, or structural contexts.
