Question

PtCI4.6H2O can exist as a hydrated complex; 1 m aqueous solution has the depression in freezing point of 3.72 K. Assume 100% ionization and Kf(H2O) = 1.86 Km-1, then the complex is

Moderate
Solution

Tf=Molality×Kf×i 3.72=1×1.86×i i=2, hence complex is binary Also, C.N of Pt is 6 and complex is hydrated.
