Answer #1

Chromium chloride hexahydrate (CrCl3 . 6 H2O) consists of (CrCl2 (H2O)4)+ trans cations and additional molecules of water and chlorine anions in the lattice.

Chromium (Cr+3) complexes has 3 electrons in 3d orbital hence form d3 complexes.(CrCl2 (H2O)4)+ trans cations which on further delay they will slowly convert into (Cr(H2O)6)3+ .

As the time proceeds d orbital splitting occurs and making harder to interact with the d-orbitals to interact with one another and helping the complex to be apart from the solution. This results in the variation of color.

So CrCl3 . 6 H2O should be analysed as early as possible without any delay
