MCQ
A complex containing $K^+, Pt(IV)$ and $Cl^-$ is $100\%$ ionised giving $i = 3$. Thus,  possible complex is 
  • A
    $K_2[Pt\, Cl_4]$
  • $K_2[Pt\, Cl_6]$
  • C
    $K_3[Pt\, Cl_5]$
  • D
    $K[Pt\, Cl_3]$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$K_2[Pt\, Cl_6]$
b
$i=$v a n Hoff factor $=1+(y-1) \alpha \quad(y=n u m b e r$ of ions, $\alpha=$ degree of ionisation)

(2) $K _{2} P t Cl _{6} \rightarrow 2 K ^{+}+\left[ P _{ t } Cl _{6}\right]^{2-} ; i =1+2=3$

In $(1)$, oxidation number of $Pt =2$

In $(2),$ the oxidation number of $P t=4$

Therefore, $K _{2}\left[ P t Cl _{6}\right]$ is the correct answer.
