A complex is represented as C o C l 3 . x H 2 O . Its 0 .1   m solution in aqueous medium shows Δ T f = 0.558 K . K f for water is 1.86 k g m o l – 1 K and assuming 100% ionisation of the complex having coordination number 6 . The formula of the complex is
Options
- AC o H 2 O 4 C l C l 2
- BC o H 2 O 4 C l 2 C l
- CC o H 2 O 6 C l 3
- DC o H 2 O 5 C l C l 2
Correct answer
D. C o H 2 O 5 C l C l 2
Step-by-step solution
Δ T f = i × K f × m 0.558 = i × 1.86 × 0.1 ⇒ i = 3 So, the total no of ions produce by complex per mole should be 3 C o H 2 O 5 C l C l 2 → C o H 2 O 5 C l 2 + + 2 C l -
