A. Structural formula of the complex.


B. IUPAC name of the complex.

Since the number of moles of AgCl that is obtained are 2, there would be two Cl- ions satisfying the primary valencies, while there is presence of one Cl- ion and five H2O molecules inside the coordination sphere, resulting in a coordination sphere of 6, and one molecule of H2O being present as the molecule of hydration.
