distinguish between complex salt and double salt

  • -6

double salt do not lose their properties when dissolved in water or som e other compound, wheres complex salt do not behave in this manner

  • -4

The difference is that when double salts are dissolved in water, they dissociate into simple constituent ions but complex ions like [Fe(CN)6] (4-) of K4[Fe(CN)6] do not dissociate into CN(-) and Fe(2+) ions.

A coordination compound contains a central metal atom or ion surrounded by number of oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These ions or molecules re bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.

A double salt is formed when two salts in stoichiometric ratio are crystallised together from their saturated solution.

Coordination compoundsdo not dissociate into simple ions when dissolved in water whereas double salts do.

Examples :

Coordination compounds :K4[Fe(CN)6]

Double salt :FeSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6H2O (Mohrs salt)

Double salts and complex are parts of 'addition compounds' and both are formed by combinatiin of two or more stable compounds in stoichiometric ratio.
But
Double salt dissociates into its simpler ions completely when dissolved in water whereas compex do not.
As KCl.MgCl2.6H2O being a double salt dissociates inyo K+, Mg+2, etc
Whereas [Fe(CN)6] being complex complex don't show the presence of all its constituent particles.

Double salts dissociate easily in their ion while we dissolve in aqueous solution it loss their identity completely but complex compound do not loss their identity completely.

In water,?a double salt dissociates completely to give simpler ions. Examples of double salt: carnallite (KCl.MgCl2.6H2O), Mohr?s salt [FeSO4.(NH4)2?SO4.6H2O]

Complex ions do not dissociate further to give simpler ions; for example, [Fe(CN)6]4?, [Fe(C2O4)3]3?.

Double salt is mixed up two simple salt.....After rection with H^2O ... Double salt can't able to retain their identity...And dissociate into simple ions.....While complex salt is a salt which retain their identity after reaction with H^2O.......

double salts lose their identity when dissolved in water whereas coordination complexes remain unchanged,that is they do not dissociate in water.Eg of double salt:Mohr's salt.Eg of complex:K4[Fe(CN)6].

Double salt -which are formed by the compounds having two simple salts together
Ex.Mohr's salt ,potash alum
Complex salt-A compound in which a central metal atom is attached to ions or molecules through coordinate bond
Ex any coordination compound

Double salts dissociate into simple ions completely when dissolved in water. Eg: Mohr's salt, potash alum, etc.
Complex ions do not dissociate into ions. Eg: [Fe(CN)6]4-

constituent ions of double salts in aqueous medium give their test
ex-K2SO4.(Al)2(SO4)3.24H2O in water will give test of K+,SO4^-2,Al^+3 ions
while in case of complex compounds.....
not all constituent elements give their positive test in aqueous medium

Double salts contain two type of cation and one type of anion for example KCl.MgCl2.6H2O
Complex salts have either complex cation or complex anion or both for example K4Fe(CN)6
