Q3 of 35 Page 1

A coordination compound with molecular formula CrCl3.4H2O precipitates one mole of AgCl with AgNO3 solution. Its molar conductivity is found to be equivalent to two ions. What is the structural formula and name of the compound?

It is given that molar conductivity is equivalent to two ions


Total two ions mean one ionizable ion and one complex ion.


∴ Formula is [Co(H2O)4Cl2]Cl


(tetraaquadichloridocobalt (III) chloride)
