Which of the following complex compounds will have minimum conductance in solution?(a) [Co(NH3)3Cl3](b) [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl(c) [Co(NH3)6]Cl3(d) [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2The question was posed to me in semester exam.This is a very interesting question from Conductance of Electrolytic Solutions topic in section Electrochemistry of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) [CO(NH3)3Cl3]

Explanation: Electrolytes that ionise in SOLUTION have a higher VALUE of conductance. Among the given options, [Co(NH3)3Cl3] does not ionise, whereas the other complexes ionise. THEREFORE, [Co(NH3)3Cl3] will have MINIMUM conductance in solution.
