Strategy:
 According to Werner's coordination theory, only the anions (halides) outside the coordination sphere (primary valency) are ionizable and will precipitate with .

Step 1: Analyze the given information
- Total chloride ions = 3.
- Equivalents of  precipitated = 2.
This means 2  ions are outside the coordination sphere.

Step 2: Determine inner sphere composition
- Cl inside the sphere = .
- To satisfy a coordination number of 6 for , the remaining 5 sites must be occupied by ammonia ()
