The elevation of boiling point of $$0.10$$ M aqueous $$CrCl3$$.x $$NH3$$ solution is two times that of $$0.05$$ M aqueous $$CaCl2$$ solution. The value of x is $$_____$$.[assume $$100$$% ionisation of the complex and $$CaCl2$$, coordination number of Cr as $$6$$, and that all $$NH3$$ molecules are present inside the coordination $$sphere)$$

For $$0.05$$ M $$CaCl2$$, i $$=$$ $$3Effective$$ molarity of $$CaCl2$$ $$=$$ $$0.05$$ × $$3$$ $$=$$ $$0.15effective$$ molarity of complex  $$=$$ $$2$$ × effective molarity of $$CaCl2$$                                               $$=$$ $$2$$ × $$0.15$$ $$=$$ $$0.3$$ MSo the complex is producing $$3$$ ions on dissociation, which is possible only when, the value of x $$=$$ $$5$$.Cr Cl (NH3) $$5$$  $$Cl2$$ ⇌ [Cr Cl $$(NH3)5$$ ]$$2++2$$ $$Cl-$$

The elevation of boiling point of 0.10 M aqueous CrCl3.x NH3 solution is two times that of 0.05 M aqueous CaCl2 solution. The value of x is _____.[assume 100% ionisation of the complex and CaCl2, coordination number of Cr as 6, and that all NH3 molecules are present inside the coordination sphere)
