The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are true for the complex \([Co(NH_3)_6][Cr(CN)_6]\), let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the complex The complex consists of two parts: 1. \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\) - a cobalt complex with ammonia ligands. 2. \([Cr(CN)_6]^{3-}\) - a chromium complex with cyanide ligands. ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation states - For \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\): - Ammonia (NH3) is a neutral ligand, so it does not contribute to the charge. - Let the oxidation state of cobalt be \(x\). - The overall charge is \(+3\). - Therefore, \(x = +3\). - For \([Cr(CN)_6]^{3-}\): - Cyanide (CN) has a charge of \(-1\). - Let the oxidation state of chromium be \(y\). - The overall charge is \(-3\). - Therefore, \(y - 6 = -3\) → \(y = +3\). ### Step 3: Evaluate each statement 1. **Statement (1): It is a non-electrolyte.** - This statement is **false**. The complex can dissociate into ions in solution, making it an electrolyte. 2. **Statement (2): The magnitude of the charge on each complex is 3.** - This statement is **true**. The charge on \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\) is \(+3\) and on \([Cr(CN)_6]^{3-}\) is \(-3\). 3. **Statement (3): The complex will not conduct current.** - This statement is **false**. Since the complex dissociates into ions, it can conduct electricity. 4. **Statement (4): The complex will exhibit coordination isomerism.** - This statement is **true**. Coordination isomerism can occur because the ligands can be exchanged between the two metal centers. 5. **Statement (5): The magnitude of the charge on each complex ion is 1.** - This statement is **false**. As established, the charges are \(+3\) and \(-3\). ### Conclusion The true statements are: - Statement (2): The magnitude of the charge on each complex is 3. - Statement (4): The complex will exhibit coordination isomerism. ### Final Answer The correct statements are **(2) and (4)**.
