A would conductivity measurements provide information about


A certain complex of metal M is formulated as MCl3 * 3H2O. The coordination number of the complex is not known but is expected to be 4 or 6. (a) Would conductivity measurements provide information about the coordination number? (b) In using conductivity measurements to test which ligands are bound to the metal ion, what assumption i made about the rate at which ligands enter or leave the coordination sphere of the the metal. (c) Suppose you experimentally determine that this complex exists in aqueous solution as a single species. Suggest a likely coordination number and the number and type of each ligand.
