A solution was prepared by dissolving 1.378 g of a compound with the formula, Co(NH₃)₄Cl₃, in a small quantity of water. When this solution was treated with aqueous silver nitrate, a white precipitate was obtained. The treatment was continued until precipitation ceased, and the precipitate was carefully collected, washed, dried, and weighed. The yield was 0.8642 g. If the coordination sphere of the metal ion remained intact throughout this procedure, which of the choices below could describe the coordination sphere of the metal ion?Hint: Consider the identity of the precipitate.
