Question

The formula of a complex with composition CrCl3.6H2O giving the following observations:

Number of ions = 3; Number of Cl– ions = 2; Number of non-ionic Cl = 1is

Options

A.[Cr (H2O)6]Cl3
B.[CrCl (H2O)5]Cl­2.H2O
C.[CrCl2(H2O)4]Cl.2H2O
D.[CrCl3(H2O)3].3H2O

Solution

Sol. Since no. Cl– ions are = 2

Total no. of ions = 3

[CrCl(H2O)5]Cl2·H2O

⇒ [CrCl(H2O)5]+2 + 2Cl–

⇒ 3 ions
