Solution
The correct option is D[Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 No. of moles of given complex =10×1=10 millimole. And no . of millimoles of AgCl formed =(4.305/143.5)=0.03 mole =30 millimole. As no.of moles of AgCl formed = no. of moles of chloride ion given by complex. So, no. of moles of chloride ion given by complex =30 millimole. That means every mole of complex gives three moles of chloride ion. So compound is - [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3.
