Question

If the freezing point of a 0.01 molal aqueous solution of a cobalt (III) chloride-ammonia complex (which behaves as a strong electrolyte) is - 0.0558 o C , the number of chloride(s) in the coordination sphere of the complex is [ K f &#160; o f &#160; w a t e r = 1.86 &#160; K &#160; k g &#160; m o l - 1 ]

Correct answer: 1

&#8710; T f = K f &#215; i &#215; m 0.0558 = 1.86 &#215; i &#215; 0.01 i = 3 Given complex behaves as a strong electrolyte &#945; = 100 % n = 3 (no. of particles given by complex) &#8756; complex is C o N H 3 5 C l C l 2 no. of C l - ions in the co-ordination sphere of the complex = 1

If the freezing point of a 0.01 molal aqueous solution of a cobalt (III) chloride-ammonia complex (which behaves as a strong electrolyte) is - 0.0558 o C , the number of chloride(s) in the coordination sphere of the complex is [ K f   o f   w a t e r = 1.86   K   k g   m o l - 1 ]
