Arrange the following complexes in the increasing order of conductivity of their solution
`[Co(NH_(3))_(3)Cl_(3)], [Co(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]Cl, [Co(NH_(3))_(6)]Cl_(3), [Co(NH_(3))_(5)Cl] Cl_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

All the complexes are of octahedral nature. The increasing order of conductivity is related to the number of ions that are available in solution.
`[Co(NH_(3))_(3)Cl_(3)]iff"No ions formed"`
`[Co(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]Cliff[Co(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]^(+)+Cl^(-)` Two ions formed
`[Co(NH_(3))_(5)Cl]Cl_2iff[Co(NH_(3))_(5)Cl]^(2+)+2Cl^(-)` Three ions formed
`[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]Cl_(3)iff[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)+3Cl^(-)` Four ions formed

Therefore, the correct order is :
`[Co(NH_(3))_(3)Cl_(3)] lt [Cr(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]Cl lt Co(NH_(3))_(5)Cl_(2) lt [Co(NH_(3))_(6)]Cl_(3)`
