Question

Which of the following shows maximum molar conductance ?

Options

A.[Co(NH3)6]Cl3
B.[Co(NH3)3Cl3]
C.[Co(NH3)4 Cl2] Cl
D.[Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2

Solution

Molar conductance depends not only on the number of ions in aqueous solution but also on the electrical charges on the ions.
(A) [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 [Co(NH3)6]3+ (aq) + 3Cl- (aq). It has 4 ions and six electrical charges.
(B) [Co(NH3)3Cl3] [Co(NH3)3Cl3] (aq) (neutral)
(C) [Co(NH3)4 Cl2] Cl [Co(NH3)4 Cl2] + (aq) + Cl- (aq). It has 2 ions and two electrical charges.
(D) [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2 [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq). It has 3 ions and four electrical charges.
