Q.
1g of a complex [Cr(H2O)5Cl](Cl)2⋅H2O ( molecularweight266.5u ) was passed through a cation exchanger to produce HCl . The acid liberated was diluted to 1litre . The normality of this acid solution is
Mole of complex =molarmassmass=266.51
one mole of complex produces two moles of HCl [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2→Cr(H2O)5Cl]2+2Cl−
Mole of HCl formed =266.51×2 NHCl=Volumeofsolutionnumberofmoles×n−factor=266.52 =7.5×10−3N
