Question

Difference between double salt and complex salt

Answer 1

a complex salt is a compound composed of a central metal atom having coordination Pounds with ligands around it and compound salt is a combination of two different salt compounds

Answer 2

Double salts are molecular compounds which are formed by the evoporation of solution containing 2 or more salts in stoichiometric proportions.They dissociate into their constituent ions in solution

   eg:  K2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.24H2O --> 2K^+ + 2Al^3+ + 4SO4^2- + 24H2O this is how it dissociates

 

A complex compound is a compound formed from a lewis acid and a lewis base.They don''t dissociate into its constituent ions in solutions

  eg:  Fe(CN)2 + 4KCN ---> K4[Fe(CN)6]

         K4[Fe(CN)6] on dissociation gives 4K^+ + [Fe(CN)6]^4-
