The answer is A for number 1 and D for 2
The compound crystallizes in the aluminium trifluoride motif. Each fluoride is a doubly bridging ligand. The cobalt centers are octahedral.
CoF3 decomposes upon contact with water to give oxygen:
4 CoF3 + 2 H2O → 4 HF + 4 CoF2 + O2
It reacts with fluoride salts to give the anion [CoF6]3−, which is also features high-spin, octahedral cobalt(III) center.
Answer:
It basically messes up the results
Explanation:
Pen ink consists of resins, pigments and other colouring dyes dissolved in appropriate solvents like propylene glycol, propyl alcohol and some other ethers. If the ball point pen is used to mark on the chromatography paper then these pigments will also move along with the solvent and interfere with the spots of our analyte.
If you use a ball point pen when doing a chromatogram, then the ink would separate as it is a mixture and run down the paper.
Graphite, or pencil lead however, is not an organic material and therefore will not be affected by common organic solvents used for thin-layer chromatography. Pen ink on the other hand will be readily absorbed by the solvent and will move up the plate.
In order to solve this, we need to know the standard cell potentials of the half reaction from the given overall reaction.
The half reactions with their standard cell potentials are:
<span>2ClO−3(aq) + 12H+(aq) + 10e- = Cl2(g) + 6H2O(l)
</span><span>E = +1.47
</span>
<span>Br(l) + 2e- = 2Br-
</span><span>E = +1.065
</span>
We solve for the standard emf by subtracting the standard emf of the oxidation from the reducation, so:
1.47 - 1.065 = 0.405 V
