Solution
The correct option is BK2[PtCl6] i = van,t Hoff factor =1+(y−1)α (y = number of ions, α= degree of ionisation) (1) K2PtCl4→2K++[PtCl4]2−;i=1+2=3 (2) K2PtCl6→2K++[PtCl6]2−;i=1+2=3 In (1), oxidation number of Pt= 2 In (2), the oxidation number of Pt= 4 Therefore, K2[PtCl6] is the correct answer.
