The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the complexes \([Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3\) and \([Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2 \cdot H_2O\), we will analyze their properties and characteristics step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Number and Oxidation State - For both complexes, we need to determine the coordination number and oxidation state of chromium. - In \([Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3\): - Coordination number = 6 (from 6 water molecules). - Oxidation state of chromium: Let it be \(x\). The total charge from 3 chloride ions is \(-3\), and water is neutral. Thus, \(x - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = +3\). - In \([Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2 \cdot H_2O\): - Coordination number = 6 (from 5 water molecules and 1 chloride ion). - Oxidation state of chromium: Let it be \(y\). The total charge from 2 chloride ions is \(-2\). Thus, \(y - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow y = +3\). ### Step 2: Identify the Types of Isomers - The two complexes are hydration isomers. - In \([Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3\), all ligands are water, while in \([Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2 \cdot H_2O\), one ligand is chloride and one water molecule is outside the coordination sphere. ### Step 3: Analyze the Behavior with Silver Nitrate (AgNO3) - When treated with AgNO3: - \([Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3\) will require 3 moles of AgNO3 to precipitate all 3 chloride ions. - \([Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2 \cdot H_2O\) will require only 2 moles of AgNO3 to precipitate 2 chloride ions, as one chloride is already coordinated. ### Step 4: Compare Conductivity and Other Properties - The electrical conductivity of both complexes will be different due to the different number of chloride ions released into the solution. - The first complex releases 3 chloride ions, while the second releases only 2. ### Conclusion - The correct statement for the complexes is that they can be differentiated based on the number of moles of AgNO3 required to precipitate the chloride ions and their different colors due to the different amounts of precipitate formed. ### Final Answer The correct statement for the complexes \([Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3\) and \([Cr(H_2O)_5Cl]Cl_2 \cdot H_2O\) is that they are hydration isomers and can be differentiated by the number of moles of AgNO3 required for precipitation. ---

The complex [Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)Cl]Br and [Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)Br]Cl show

coordination compounds often show various types of isomerism. The isomerism can be categorized in two main types (a) structural isomerism (b) stereo or space isomerism Structural isomerism arises due to the difference in structures of coordination-sempounds while stereo or space isomerism arises on account of the different positions and arrangements of ligands (atoms or groups) in space around the metal lonStructural isomerism can be classified in following types (i) tonization isomers- which give different ions in solution, e.g. [CoBr(NH_(3))_(5)]]SO_(4) and [Co(SO_(4))_(5)(NH_(3))_(5)]Br Hydrate isomers which differ in H_(2)O as ligand or as hydration, e.g. [Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)]CI_(2)(H_(2)O)]Cl_(2).H_(2)O[CrCl_(2)(H_(2)O)]CI.2H_(2)O (iii) Linkage isomers, which differ in atom linked to 'metal atom, e.g. [CO(NO_(2))(NH_(3))_(5)]^(2+) and CO(ONO)(NH_(3))_(6)]^(2+) Coordination isomers- which involve interchange of ligands, e.g. [Co(NH_(3))_(6)] [Cr(CN)_(6)] and [Cr(NH_(3))_(6)] [Co(CN)_(6)] (v) Coordination position isomerism-which arises in the bridged complexes due to the difference in the attachment of ligands with the metal atoms QThe compounds [Cr(H_(2)O_(6)]Cl_(3)[Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)CI]Cl_(2).H_(2)O and [Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)Cl_(2)]Cl2H_(2)O exhibit
