Q5 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (09 Apr Online) · Chemistry

Which one of the following complexes will consume more equivalents of aqueous solution of AgNO3 ?

  • A
    Na2CrCl5H2O
  • B
    Na3CrCl6
  • C
    CrH2O5ClCl2
  • Correct answer
    D
    CrH2O6Cl3

Solution

The number of ions will be precipitated only which are out of coordination sphere in given complexes.

[Cr(H2O)6]Cl3(aq)    ⇄   [Cr(H2O)6]3+(aq)  + 3Cl−(aq)
3Ag+  +  3Cl−  →3AgCl↓  (White)

More Equivalents of AgNO3 aqueous solution will be consumed by more Cl- ions given by the complex

Cl-aq+AgNO3→AgCl↓+NO3-aq

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