Three bottles of aqueous solutions are discovered in an abandoned lab. The solutions are green, yellow and purple. It is known that three complex ions of chromium (III) were commonly used in that lab: [Cr(H2O)6]3+, [Cr(NH3)6]3+, [Cr(H2O)4Cl2]+. What is the likely identity of each colored
solution?

would it depend on the ligand?, for [Cr(H2O)6]^3+, since h2o is weak it has a small delta value thus a high spin and Since its weak, on the color wheel it would be green? [Cr(Nh3)6]^3+, NH3 is strongest of all so its color is yellow, than last is green?
correction :
last is violet
last is violet
i know answers now nevermind.
