When the paramagnetic [co(cn)6] 4– ion is oxidized to [co(cn)6] 3– , the ion becomes diamagnetic. however, when the paramagnetic

[co(ox)3] 4– is oxidized to [co(ox)3] 3– , the ion remains paramagnetic. here ‘ox' denotes a bidentate chelating ligand. explain these observations in detail using crystal field theory and crystal field splitting diagrams?

Answer:  
Basically, paramagnetic and diamagnetic refer to the way a chemical species interacts with a magnetic field. More specifically, it refers to whether or not a chemical species has any unpaired electrons or not. 
 A diamagnetic species has no unpaired electrons, while a paramagnetic species has one or more unpaired electrons. 
 Now, I won't go into too much detail about crystal field theory in general, since I assume that you're familiar with it. 
 So, you're dealing with the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion, [CoF6]3â’, and the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion, [Co(CN)6]3â’. 
 You know that [CoF6]3â’ is paramagnetic and that [Co(CN)6]3â’ is diamagnetic, which means that you're going to have to determine why the former ion has unpaired electrons and the latter does not. 
 Both complex ions contain the cobalt(III) cation, Co3+, which has the following electron configuration 
  Co3+:1s22s22p63s23p63d6 
 For an isolated cobalt(III) cation, all these five 3d-orbitals are degenerate. The thing to remember now is that the position of the ligand on the spectrochemical series will determine how these d-orbtals will split. 
 More specifically, you can say that 
  a strong field ligand will produce a more significant splitting energy, Δ  a weak field ligand will produce a less significant splitting energy, Δ 
 Now, the spectrochemical series looks like this

 Notice that the cyanide ion, CNâ’, is higher on the spectrochemical series than the fluoride ion, Fâ’. This means that the cyanide ion ligands will cause a more significant energy gap between the eg and t2g orbitals when compared with the fluoride ion ligands.

 In the case of the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion, the splitting energy is smaller than the electron pairing energy, and so it is energetically favorable to promote two electrons from the t2g orbitals to the eg orbitals → a high spin complex will be formed. 
 This will ensure that the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion will have unpaired electrons, and thus be paramagnetic. 
 On the other hand, in the case of the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion, the splitting energy is higher than the electron pairing energy, and so it is energetically favorable to pair up those four electrons in the t2g orbitals → a low spin complex is formed. 
 Since it has no unpaired electrons, the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion will be diamagnetic.

How many grams of acetylene are produced by adding water to 5.00 g CaC2?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.03125g of acetylene

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.

1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2

In terms of mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

where the molar mass of the elements are;

Ca = 40g/mol

C = 12g/mol

H = 1g/mol

CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol

C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol

64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2

5g would produce x?

64 = 26

5 = x

Upon solving for x we have;

x = (5 * 26) / 64

x = 2.03125g

The table describes how some substances were formed.
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Formed by adding 5 g of sugar to 1 L of water

Explanation:

The substance formed by adding 5 g of suagr to 1 L of water is a mixture.

<em>A mixture is defined as two or more substances that are physically mixed but do not react together. It thus means that the component substances of a mixture can be retrieved through appropriate means of separations.</em>

<u>A mixture of sugar and water can be separated by evaporation. The mixture is heated and the vapor from the boiling water can be condensed to retrieve the water while the residue will give the sugar that was initially dissolved in it. </u>

The products formed from other descriptions in the illustration cannot be separated ordinarily and thus, are not considered to be mixture. The components have been chemically combined together.
