Question

Arrange the increasing order of charges (molar conductivity) of the compounds used in Werner coordination theory

1. CoCl₃.6NH₃
2. CoCl₃.5NH₃
3. CoCl₃.4NH₃
4. CoCl₃.3NH₃

• A. (A), (B), (C), (D)
• B. (D), (C), (B), (A)
• C. (B), (A), (D), (C)
• D. (C), (B), (D), (A)

Hint:

The greater the number of dissociated ions, the higher the molar conductivity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Werner's theory posits that molar conductivity depends on the number of ligands and the complex's ionic dissociation. The order of increasing conductivity is dictated by the quantity of ions released upon dissociation.
