JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3cc128
At the same molar concentration, which is the correct order of increasing molar conductivity of [Co(NHX3)X6]ClX3 (I), [Co(NHX3)X5Cl]ClX2 (II), [Co(NHX3)X4ClX2]Cl (III) and [Co(NHX3)X3ClX3] (IV)?
AIV < II < III < I
BIII < IV < II < I
CIV < III < II < I
DI < II < III < IV
Answer: C
Molar conductivity rises with the number of ions per formula unit: I gives 4, II gives 3, III gives 2 and IV gives 0. So the order is IV < III < II < I.
