Which of the following complexes has lowest molar conductance?

  • CoCl3·3NH3

  • CoCl3·4NH3

  • CoCl3·5NH3

  • CoCl3·6NH3


A.

CoCl3·3NH3

Molar conductance is the conducting power of all the ions produced by dissolving 1 g-mole of an electrolyte. Therefore, molar conductance ∝ number of ions produced.
Werner complex Modern-notation Ionisation
COCl3·3NH3 [Co(NH3)3Cl3] [Co(NH3)3Cl3] (No ionisation)
COCl3·4NH3 [Co(NH3)4Cl2]Cl  [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ + Cl- (2 ions)
COCl3·5NH3 [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2  [Co(NH3)5Cl]2+ + 2Cl- (3 ions)
COCl·6NH3 [Co(NH3)]Cl3 [Co(NH3)6]3+ + 3Cl- (4ions)

From above table it is clear that, molar conduction of the complexs will be in the following order a <b <c <d.
