The Hydratres of Chromium(III) chloride have 3 known forms: A is a hexahydrate, B is a pentahydrate, C is a tetrahydrate. Adding excess of silver ion to a solution of 1 mole of each results in the following precipitates of silver chloride. A 3 moles, B 2 moles, C 1 mole. Using this information deduce the actual structure of each hydrate and write the corresponding name.
