When 1 mol of CrCl\(_3\) \(\cdot\) 6H\(_2\)\(O\) is treated with excess AgNO\(_3\), 3 mol of AgCl are obtained.
The conductivity of the solution will correspond to:

  1. A 1:1 electrolyte
  2. B 1:2 electrolyte
  3. C 2:1 electrolyte
  4. D 1:3 electrolyte
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1:3 electrolyte

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \text{CrCl}_3 \cdot 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \) reacts with excess \( \text{AgNO}_3 \) to yield \( 3 \text{ mol} \) of \( \text{AgCl} \). This implies that all three chloride ions are outside the coordination sphere, so the complex is \( \text{[Cr(H}_2\text{O)}_6\text{]Cl}_3 \).…
