An excess of AgNO3 is added to 100 mL of a 0.01 M solution of dichlorotetraaquachromium (III) chloride. The number of moles of AgCl precipitate would be

  • 0.001

  • 0.002

  • 0.003

  • 0.01

Answer

A.

0.001

The formula of dichlorotetraqua chromium (III) chloride is [Cr(H2O)Cl2]Cl.
On ionisation it generates only one Cl- ion.
[Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl --> [Cr(H2O)Cl2]+ +Cl-
Initial  100x0.01         0                 0

after ionisation
         0                   1 mol           1 mol
One mole of Cl- ions reacts with only 1 mole of AgNO3 molecules to produce 1 mole of AgCl.
therefore, 1 mmol or 1 x 10-3 mole reacts with AgNO3 to give AgCl.
= 1 x 1 x 10-3/1 = 0.001 mol AgCl
