Q. Which of the following is most likely structure of $CrO_3.6H_2O$ if 1/3 of total chlorine of the compound is precipitated by adding $AgNO_3$ to its aqueous solution ?

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

Out of 3 Cl atoms, only one Cl atom is ionisable. The other two Cl atoms are part of coordination sphere. Hence its structure is $[CrCl_2(H_2O)_4]C1.2H_2O$
