Let's break down the problem into **three steps** for each reaction. Here, I'll do the **first one** (with ethylenediamine, en), as an example:
---
### **1. Write the balanced reaction**
**Given:**
The reaction with ethylenediamine (en): \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\)
**Reactants:**
\([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+} + 3\, en \rightarrow ?\)
**Ethylenediamine (en)** is a bidentate ligand, so 3 en molecules can replace all 6 NH₃ ligands.
**Balanced Reaction:**
\[
[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+} + 3\, en \rightarrow [Co(en)_3]^{3+} + 6\, NH_3
\]
---
### **2. Draw the structural formula (3D sketch)**
- **[Co(en)₃]³⁺** is an **octahedral complex**.
- Each **en** ligand forms two bonds (chelates) to the Co³⁺ center, so the structure has three rings.
**Sketch:**
```

N N

```
(Imagine each en ligand wrapping around the Co³⁺ in a bidentate fashion, forming three chelate rings.)
---
### **3. Name the complex**
- The complex is named **tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion**.
---
## **Final Answer**
1. **Balanced Reaction:**
\[
[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+} + 3\, en \rightarrow [Co(en)_3]^{3+} + 6\, NH_3
\]
2. **Structural Formula:** Octahedral \([Co(en)_3]^{3+}\) (three bidentate ethylenediamine ligands chelating the Co³⁺)
3. **Name:** **tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion**
