The hydrated chromium chloride that is available commercially has the overall composition CrCl 3 6H 2 O.

Question:

The hydrated chromium chloride that is available commercially has the overall composition CrCl3·6H2O. On boiling a solution, it becomes violet and has a molar electrical conductivity similar to that of [Co(NH3)6]Cl3. By contrast, another form of CrCl3·6H2O is green and has a lower molar conductivity in solution. If a dilute acidified solution of the green complex is allowed to stand for several hours, it turns violet. Interpret these observations with structural diagrams.
