Which one is the most likely structure of

CrC{l_3}.6{H_2}O

if 1/3 of total chlorine of the compound is precipitated by adding

AgN{O_3}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\left[ {CrC{l_2}{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_4}} \right]Cl.2{H_2}O

Option C (

\left[ {CrC{l_2}{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_4}} \right]Cl.2{H_2}O

) is correct because 1/3 of the chlorine is precipitated, indicating one Cl- ion is outside the coordination sphere.
