Question

A freshly prepared aqueous (Pt(NH3)2Cl2) does not conduct current?why​

Answer 1

Answer:

beacuse the resistivity level of these Compound is low

Answer 2

Correct question:

A freshly prepared aqueous solution of Pd(NH3)2CI2 does not conduct electricity, it suggests that

a)the structure of the compound involves covalent bonding only

b)the chlorine atoms must be in coordination sphere

c)the van't Hoff factor of the compound would be unity

d)on adding excess aqueous AgNO3 to 0.1 L of 0.1 M solution of the compound, 0.02 mole of AgCI would be obtained

Answer:

The correct answer is B and C.

Explanation:

A freshly prepared pd(NH3)2Cl2 has chlorine I in it's coordination sphere. This is the reason why they do not conduct electricity . The van't Hoff factor of this is also unity. The Van't Hoff factor being unity means that there is no association or disassociation and the solution is non-electrolytic.
