Detailed Solution
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-
