JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question
5.33 g of CrCl₃·6H₂O, which is a 1 : 3 electrolyte, is dissolved in water and is passed through a cation exchanger. The chloride ions in the eluted solution, on treatment with AgNO₃ results in 8.61 g of AgCl. The ratio of moles of complex reacted and moles of AgCl formed is × 10⁻². (Nearest integer) [Molar mass in g mol⁻¹ Cr: 52, Ag: 108, Cl: 35.5, H: 1, O: 16]
Answer: 33
Solution
Molar mass of CrCl₃·6H₂O = 266.5, so moles = 5.33/266.5 = 0.02. As a 1 : 3 electrolyte it releases 3 free Cl⁻ per
