Analysis of the data from a titration indicates that a 0.1000-g sample of the complex contains 0.0708 g of py. Further analysis shows that 0.1000 g of the complex contains 0.0132 g of cobalt and 0.0160 g of chloride. What is the empirical formula of the complex?

Addition of AgNO3 to aqueous solutions of the complex results in a cloudy white precipitate, presumably AgCl. You dissolve 0.1000 g of the complex in H2O and perform a precipitation titration with 0.0500 M AgNO3 as the titrant. Using an electrode that is sensitive to [Ag+], you reach the endpoint after 9.00 mL of titrant is added. How many grams of chloride ion were present in the 0.1000-g sample?
