    The two isomers X and Y with the formula \[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}ClB{{r}_{2}}\]were taken for experiment on depression in freezing point. It was found that one mole of X gave depression corresponding to 2 moles of particles and one mole of Y gave depression due to 3 moles of particles. The structural formulae of X and Y respectively are

    A) \[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}Cl]B{{r}_{2}};[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}}B{{r}_{2}}]Cl.{{H}_{2}}O\]

    B) \[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}Cl]B{{r}_{2}};[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{3}}ClB{{r}_{2}}.2{{H}_{2}}O]\]

    C) \[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}Br]BrCl;[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}}ClBr]Br.{{H}_{2}}O\]

    D) \[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}Cl]B{{r}_{2}};[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}}ClBr]Br.{{H}_{2}}O\]

    E)  \[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}}B{{r}_{2}}]Cl.{{H}_{2}}O;[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}Cl]B{{r}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    One mole of X gave depression corresponding to 2 moles of particles, ie., on ionization X gives 2 moles of ions, thus it contains only one ion outside the coordination sphere and its structural formula is\[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}}B{{r}_{2}}]Cl.{{H}_{2}}O\] While Y gives 3 moles of ions, so it contains two ions outside the coordination sphere and its structural formula is\[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}Cl]B{{r}_{2}}\] \[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}}B{{r}_{2}}]Cl.{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[{}]{ionisation}\] \[\underbrace{{{[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{4}}B{{r}_{2}}]}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}}_{2\,ions}+{{H}_{2}}O\] \[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}Cl]B{{r}_{2}}\xrightarrow{ionisation}\underbrace{{{[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{5}}Cl]}^{2+}}+2B{{r}^{-}}}_{3\,ions}\]
