A coordiantion compound `CrCl_(3)*4H_(2)O` percipitates silver chloride when treated with silver nitrate. The molar conductance of its solution corresponds to a total of two ions. Write the structural formula of the compound and name it.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Formation of white percipitate with `AgNO_(3)` shows that atleast one `Cl^(-)` ion is present outside the coordination sphere. Moreover only two ions are obtained in solution, so only one `Cl^(-)` is present outside the sphere.
Thus, the formula of the complex is `[Co(H_(2)O)_(4)Cl_(2)]Cl` and its IUPAC name is tetraaquadichloridocobalt (III) chloride.
