The compound shows molar conductivity of a 1:2 electrolyte. Excess is added to one mole of it. Treating as strong-field towards (low spin), which option correctly gives the formula, moles of AgCl precipitated and the electronic details?

  1. A; 2 mol AgCl; 4 unpaired electrons,
  2. B with one free ; 1 mol AgCl; 0 unpaired electrons,
  3. C; 3 mol AgCl; 0 unpaired electrons,
  4. D; 2 mol AgCl; 0 unpaired electrons,

Answer: D

1:2 means three ions, so the complex ion is with two free : . Only free chloride precipitates, giving 2 mol AgCl. Co(III) is and low spin, so with 0 unpaired electrons and hybridisation.
