The complex hexamineplatinum(IV)chloride will give number of ions on ionisation.

  • A
    4
  • B
    3
  • C
    2
  • Correct answer
    D
    5

Solution

The formula of hexamineplatinum (IV) chloride is $\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right] \mathrm{Cl}_4$. $$ \left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right] \mathrm{Cl}_4 \longrightarrow\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{4+}+4 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} $$ Thus, five ions are produced.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
