Solution

A maximum of four coordinated water molecules are present in CrCl $_{3}$ .4H $_{2}$ O complex compound. The compound can be represented as $[C r (H_{2} O)_{4} C l_{2}] C l$ . Thus, the coordination sphere contains 4 water molecules and 2 chloride ions. The ionization sphere contains 1 chloride ion. There may be a complex which contain less than 4 coordinated water molecules such as $[C r (H_{2} O)_{3} C l_{3}] H_{2} O$ .
