Question:

Number of ions produced on hydrolysis of Cr(NH3)4Cl3 reacting with AgNO3 to give 1 mole of AgCl, will be

Options:

2

3

4

5

Correct Answer:

2

Explanation:

Only 1 mol of AgCl is produced on reacting Cr(NH3)4Cl3 with AgNO3.

∴ Only one Cl- is available after dissociation to react with AgNO3.

Formula of coordination compound will be: [Cr(NH3)4Cl2]Cl 

[Cr(NH3)4Cl2]Cl → [Cr(NH3)4Cl2]+ + Cl-

[Cr(NH3)4Cl2]Cl + AgNO3 → [Cr(NH3)4Cl2]NO3 + AgCl
