Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine the valency (oxidation state) of chromium (Cr) in the complex ion \([Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2]^+\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the components of the complex:** - The complex consists of chromium (Cr), four water molecules (H₂O), and two chloride ions (Cl). 2. **Assign oxidation states:** - The oxidation state of water (H₂O) is 0 because it is a neutral molecule. - The oxidation state of each chloride ion (Cl) is -1. 3. **Set up the equation:** - Let the oxidation state of chromium be \(x\). - The total charge of the complex is +1. 4. **Write the equation based on the oxidation states:** - The equation can be set up as follows: \[ x + (0 \times 4) + (-1 \times 2) = +1 \] - Simplifying this gives: \[ x - 2 = +1 \] 5. **Solve for \(x\):** - Rearranging the equation: \[ x = +1 + 2 \] - Therefore, \[ x = +3 \] 6. **Conclusion:** - The valency (oxidation state) of chromium in the complex \([Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2]^+\) is +3. ### Summary: The valency of chromium (Cr) in the complex \([Cr(H_2O)_4Cl_2]^+\) is +3.
