JEE Main 2026 — 6 April, Evening Shift — Question 60

An excess of AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_{3} is added to 100 mL of a 0.05 M solution of tetraaquadichloridochromium (III) chloride. The number of moles of AgCl precipitated will be ____\_\_\_\_ ×10−3\times 10^{-3}. (Nearest integer)

Answer: 5

Numerical answer — enter this value.

Step-by-step solution

[Cr(H2O)4Cl2]Cl+AgNO3→AgCl↓+\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right] \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{AgNO}_{3} \rightarrow \mathrm{AgCl} \downarrow+ [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]NO3\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right] \mathrm{NO}_{3} ⇒1\Rightarrow 1 mole of complex will precipitate 1 mole of AgCl . ⇒ Given moles of complex == M×V=(0.05×100×10−3)\mathrm{M} \times \mathrm{V}=\left(0.05 \times 100 \times 10^{-3}\right) moles ⇒ Moles of AgCl=5×10−3\mathrm{AgCl}=5 \times 10^{-3} moles ⇒x=5\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=5
