Chapter 21, Problem 21.111(choose chapter or problem)
Ammonia and potassium iodide solutions are added to an aqueous solution of Cr(NO3)3. A solid is isolated (compound A), and the following data are collected: i. When 0.105 g of compound A was strongly heated in excess O2, 0.0203 g CrO3 was formed. ii. In a second experiment it took 32.93 mL of 0.100 M HCl to titrate completely the NH3 present in 0.341 g compound A. iii. Compound A was found to contain 73.53% iodine by mass. iv. The freezing point of water was lowered by 0.648C when 0.601 g compound A was dissolved in 10.00 g H2O (Kf 5 1.868C ? kg/mol).What is the formula of the compound? What is the structure of the complex ion present? (Hints: Cr31 is expected to be sixcoordinate, with NH3 and possibly I2 as ligands. The I2 ions will be the counterions if needed.
