Solution

The correct option is B 0.001
[Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl[Cr(H2O)4Cl2]+Cl
Initial: 100×0.01 0 0
moles =1 millimol
As per the equation 1 mol of [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl furnishes 1 mol of Cl ions. Therefore, 1 millimol or 0.001 mol of [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl will furnish 0.001 mol of Cl ions.
Now, the solution of [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl is made to react with AgNO3 and the reaction that takes place is:
[Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl+AgNO3[Cr(H2O)4Cl2]NO3+AgCl()
Initially: 0.001 mol excess
[Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl will act as the limiting reagent and will decide the moles of AgCl precipitated.
Now, 1 mol of [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl precipitates 1 mol of AgCl.
0.001 mole of [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl will precipitate 0.001 mole of AgCl.

Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
