Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 23.54QP
A student in 1895 prepared three coordination compounds containing chromium, with the following properties:
Formula | Color | Cl− Ions in Solution per Formula Unit |
(a) CrCl3 · 6H2O | Violet | 3 |
(b) CrCl3 · 6H2O | Light green | 2 |
(c) CrCl3 · 6H2O | Dark green | 1 |
Write modern formulas for these compounds and suggest a method for confirming the number of Cl− ions present in solution in each case. (Hint: Some of the compounds may exist as hydrates and Cr has a coordination number of 6 in all the compounds.)
