Complex X Of composition C r H 2 O 6 C l n Has a spin only magnetic moment of 3.83   B . M . It reacts…
- Hexaaqua chromium(III) chloride
- Tetraaquadichlorido chromium(IV) chloride dihydrate
- Dichloridotetraaqua chromium(IV) chloride dihydrate
- Tetraaquadichlorido chromium(III) chloride dihydrate
Solution
From data of magnetic moment oxidation number of Cr should be
Hence, complex is
The above complex formula can have following different types of complexes-
As chlorine atoms are outside of co-ordination sphere hence it can react with Silver nitrate to form silver chloride, but can not show Geometrical Isomerism because all 6 ligands are same i.e. aqua
This complex can react with silver nitrate as chlorine atoms are outside of co-ordination sphere, but can not show Geometrical Isomerism.
This complex can react with silver nitrate as one chlorine atom is outside of co-ordination sphere and also show Geometrical isomerism. The IUPAC name of this complex is Tetraaquadichloridochromium(III) chloride dihydrate.
This complex can not react with silver nitrate because not chlorine atom is outside of co-ordination sphere, but this complex can show Geometrical isomerism(Facial and meridional ).
