The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the value of \( x \) in the complex \( [CrCl_3 \cdot xNH_3] \) based on the information provided about the elevation in boiling point. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between boiling point elevation and Van't Hoff factor The elevation in boiling point (\( \Delta T_b \)) is given by the formula: \[ \Delta T_b = i \cdot K_b \cdot m \] where: - \( i \) = Van't Hoff factor (number of particles the solute breaks into) - \( K_b \) = molal elevation constant of the solvent - \( m \) = molality of the solution ### Step 2: Set up the equation for the complex and urea According to the problem, the elevation in boiling point of the one molal solution of the complex is triple that of a one molal aqueous solution of urea. Therefore, we can write: \[ \Delta T_b \text{ (complex)} = 3 \cdot \Delta T_b \text{ (urea)} \] Substituting the formula for both solutions, we have: \[ i_{complex} \cdot K_b \cdot 1 = 3 \cdot (i_{urea} \cdot K_b \cdot 1) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Since \( K_b \) is the same for both solutions, it cancels out: \[ i_{complex} = 3 \cdot i_{urea} \] ### Step 4: Determine the Van't Hoff factor for urea Urea does not dissociate in solution, so: \[ i_{urea} = 1 \] Thus: \[ i_{complex} = 3 \cdot 1 = 3 \] ### Step 5: Analyze the dissociation of the complex The complex \( [CrCl_3 \cdot xNH_3] \) can dissociate into ions. Given that \( i_{complex} = 3 \), we can express the dissociation as: \[ [CrCl_3 \cdot xNH_3] \rightarrow CrCl_xNH_3^{2+} + 2Cl^- \] This means that the complex must dissociate into a total of 3 particles. ### Step 6: Determine the coordination number of chromium Chromium typically has a coordination number of 6. In the complex \( [CrCl_3 \cdot xNH_3] \), there are 3 chloride ions. To satisfy the coordination number of 6, the remaining ligands must be ammonia (NH₃) molecules. ### Step 7: Calculate the value of \( x \) Since there are 3 chloride ions, the number of ammonia ligands must be: \[ x + 3 = 6 \] Solving for \( x \): \[ x = 6 - 3 = 3 \] ### Conclusion The value of \( x \) is 3.
