(2) [Co(H2O)5Cl]Cl2  H2O (4) 1.0 × 10–10 M
(3) [Co(H2O)4Cl2]Cl  2H2O Answer (3)
(4) [Co(H2O)3Cl3]  3H2O [50  1]
Sol. Final concentration of [SO4– –] = = 0.1 M
Answer (4) [500]
Sol. The solution which shows maximum freezing point Ksp of BaSO4,
must have minimum number of solute particles.
[Ba2+][SO42–] = 1 × 10–10
(1) [Co(H2O)6]Cl3  [Co(H2O)6]3+ + 3Cl–, i = 4
10 10
(2) [Co(H2O)5Cl]Cl2  H2O  [Co(H2O)5Cl]2+ + 2Cl–, [Ba2+][0.1] = = 10–9 M
0.1
i=3
Concentration of Ba2+ in final solution = 10–9 M
(3) [Co(H2O)4Cl2]Cl  2H2O  [Co(H2O)4Cl2]+ + Cl–,
Concentration of Ba2+ in the original solution.
i=2
M1V1 = M2V2
(4) [Co(H2O)3Cl3]  3H2O  [Co(H2O)3Cl3], i = 1
M1 (500 – 50) = 10–9 (500)
So, solution of 1 molal [Co(H2O)3Cl3]  3H2O will have
minimum number of particles in aqueous state. M1 = 1.11 × 10–9 M
Hence, option (4) is correct. So, option (3) is correct.
