Question

A complex containing K+, Pt(IV) and Cl- is 100% ionised giving i = 3. Thus, complex is :

Options

A.K2[PtCl4]
B.K2[PtCl6]
C.K3[PtCl5]
D.K[PtCl3]

Solution

i = van′t Hoff factor = 1 + (y - 1) x
i = van′t Hoff factor = 1 + (y - 1) x
(y = number of ions, x = degree of ionisation)
                                                     y     i = 1 + (y -1) x
(a) K2PtCl4     2K+ + PtCl42-     3    1 + 2 = 3
(b) K2PtCl6     2K+ + PtCl62-     3    3
In (a), oxidation number of Pt = 2
In (b) oxidation number of Pt = 4
