The two isomers X and Y with the formula Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)ClBr_(2) were taken for experiment on depression in freezing point. It was found that one mole of X gave depression corresponding to 2 moles of particles and one mole of Y gave depression due to 3 moles of particles. The structural formulae of X and Y respectively rae

Answer»

`[Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)Cl]Br_(2), [Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)Br_(2)]Cl. H_(2)O`
`[Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)Br]BrCl, [Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)ClBr]Br.H_(2)O`
`[Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)Cl]Br_(2), [Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)ClBr]Br.H_(2)O`
`[Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)Br_(2)]Cl.H_(2)O, [Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)Cl]Br_(2)`

Solution :1 mole of complex X giving 2 moles of PARTICLES will be `[Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)Br_(2)]Cl.H_(2)O`, i.e.,`[Cr(H_(2)O)_(4)Br_(2)]^(+)+Cl_(-)`
1 mole of complex Y giving 3 moles of particles will be `[Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)Cl]Br_(2)`, i.e.,
`[Cr(H_(2)O)_(5)Cl^(-)]^(2-)+2Br^(-)`.
