Answer:
[Ni(CN)4]2- square planar
[NiCl4]2- tetrahedral
Explanation:
For a four coordinate complex such as [Ni(CN)4]2- and [NiCl4]2-, we can decide its geometry by closely considering its magnetic properties. Both of the complexes are d8 complexes which could be found either in the tetrahedral or square planar crystal field depending on the nature of the ligand.
CN^- being a strong field ligand leads to the formation of a square planar diamagnetic d8 complex of Ni^2+. Similarly, Cl^- being a weak field ligand leads to the formation a a tetrahedral paramagnetic d8 complex of Ni^+ hence the answer given above.
Answer:
Carbon
Carbon atoms have 6 protons.
Answer:
THE MOLAR MASS OF THE UNKNOWN MOLECULAR SUBSTANCE IS 200 G/MOL.
Explanation:
Mass of the unknown substance = 0.50 g
Freezing point of the solution = 3.9 °C
Freezing point of pure benzene = 5.5 °C
Freezing point dissociation constant Kf = 5.12°C/m
First, calculate the temperature difference between the freezing point of pure benzene and the final solution freezing point.
Change in temperature = 5.5 -3.9 = 1.6 °C
Next is to calculate the number of moles or molarity of the compound that dissolved.
Using the formula:
Δt = i Kf m
Assume i = 1
So,
1.6 °C = 1 * 5.12 * x/ 0.005 kg of benzene
x = 1.6 * 0.008 / 5.12
x = 0.0128 / 5.12
x = 0.0025 moles.
Next is to calculate the molar mass using the formula, molarity = mass / molar mass
Molar mass = mass / molarity
Molar mass = 0.50 g /0.0025
Molar mass = 200 g/mol
Hence, the molar mass of the unknown compound is 200 g/mol
