Answer:
CN^- is a strong field ligand
Explanation:
The complex, hexacyanoferrate II is an Fe^2+ specie. Fe^2+ is a d^6 specie. It may exist as high spin (paramagnetic) or low spin (diamagnetic) depending on the ligand. The energy of the d-orbitals become nondegenerate upon approach of a ligand. The extent of separation of the two orbitals and the energy between them is defined as the magnitude of crystal field splitting (∆o).
Ligands that cause a large crystal field splitting such as CN^- are called strong field ligands. They lead to the formation of diamagnetic species. Strong field ligands occur towards the end of the spectrochemical series of ligands.
Hence the complex, Fe(CN)6 4− is diamagnetic because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand that causes the six d-electrons present to pair up in a low spin arrangement.
Answer:
There are 2 double bond units and 1 lone pair, which will try to get as far apart as possible - taking up a trigonal planar arrangement. Because the lone pair isn't counted when you describe the shape, SO2 is described as bent or V-shaped.

Answer:
Reaction 5: Decomposition reaction.
Reaction 6: Single replacement reaction
Reaction 7: Combination reaction.
Reaction 8: Combustion reaction.
Explanation:
<u><em>Reaction 5:</em></u> 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂.
- It is a decomposition reaction.
- A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.
- In this reaction: potassium chlorate decomposes into two single components (potassium chloride and oxygen).
- So, it is a decomposition reaction.
<u><em>Reaction 6:</em></u> Zn + 2HCl → H₂ + ZnCl₂.
- It is a single replacement reaction.
- A single-replacement reaction, a single-displacement reaction, is a reaction by which one (or more) element(s) replaces an/other element(s) in a compound.
- It is most often occur if element is more reactive than the other, thus giving a more stable product.
- In this reaction, zinc metal (more active) displaces the hydrogen to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride, a salt. Zinc reacts quickly with the acid to form bubbles of hydrogen.
<u><em>Reaction 7:</em></u> N₂O₅ + H₂O → 2HNO₃.
- It is a combination "synthesis" reaction.
- A synthesis reaction has two or more reactants and only one product.
- In this reaction, dinitrogen pentoxide reacts with water to produce nitric acid.
- So, it is considered as a synthetic "combination" reaction.
<u><em>Reaction 8:</em></u> 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O.
- It is a combustion reaction.
- A combustion reaction is a reaction where hydrocarbon alkane is completely burned in oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide.
- In this reaction 1.0 mole of ethane is burned to give 4.0 moles of carbon dioxide and 6.0 moles of water.
- So, it is considered as a combustion reaction.
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Sugar
(a) Dissolving in water
The white solid dissolves in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless sugar solution gives a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
2. Magnesium sulfate
(a) Dissolving in water
The colourless crystals dissolve in water to give a colourless solution. There is no evidence that a new substance is being produced.
(b) Addition of sodium hydroxide
Adding the colourless solution of sodium hydroxide to the colourless solution of magnesium sulfate gives a white precipitate (see image). This is evidence that a new substance is being produced.
