(A) In $[Co(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-}$,there are three oxalate ligands attached to the central cobalt ion.Since oxalate $(C_2O_4)^{2-}$ is a bidentate ligand,each oxalate ion provides two donor oxygen atoms.Therefore,$1 	ext{ mole of } (C_2O_4)^{2-} \equiv 2 	ext{ moles of donor atoms}$.Thus,$1 	ext{ mole of } [Co(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-} \equiv 3 	imes 2 = 6 	ext{ moles of donor atoms}$.
