Differentiate between a double salt and a complex. [Uttarakhand 2019] |
|
Answer» e salt is a salt that contains more than one cation or more than one anion. Examples of double salts include alums and Tutton's salts Other examples include potassium sodium tartrate, AMMONIUM iron(II) sulfate (Mohr's salt), and bromlite. The fluorocarbonates contain fluoride and carbonate anions. Many coordination complexes form double salts.Double salts should not be confused with complexes. When dissolved in water, a double salt completely dissociates into SIMPLE ions while a hexaaquo complex does not; the complex ion remains unchanged. Similarly, K4[YbI6] is a complex salt and contains the DISCRETE [YbI6]4− ion, which remains intact in aqueous solutions. In many cases, the complex ion is indicated by square brackets. Double salts are distinct from mixed-crystal systems where TWO salts cocrystallise. the former involves a chemical combination with fixed composition, whereas the latter is a mixture.hope it HELPS you |
