Question

Explain potassium ferricyanide is considered to be a complex compound but potash alun is not. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Double salts loose identity in solution by dissociation into ions while coordinationcompounds do not loose their identity. Since potash alum dissociates into ions it is double salt while potassium ferricyanide does not dissociates into ions and hence it is a complex compound.

Answer 2

Double salts loose identity in solution by dissociation into ions while coordination compounds do not loose their identity. Since potash alum dissociates into ions it is double salt while potassium ferricyanide does not dissociates into ions and hence it is a complex compound
