Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

Explain how acid–base indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a substance.
mezya [45]
PH stands for potential hydrogen.
pH can be accurately tested using acid-based indicators since it is a part of the pH of something itself. (acid and bases) The indicators themselves work when the acidic properties of the indicator begins to dissolve and form ions which gives the color indicating the pH.

The decomposition of N2O4 into NO2 has Kp = 2. Some N2O4 is placed into an empty container, and the partial pressure of NO2 at e
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Expression for the given decomposition reaction is as follows.

           N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Let us assume that x concentration of N_{2}O_{4} is present at the initial stage. Therefore, according to the ICE table,

                    N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Initial :               x                   0

Change :       - 0.1        2 \times 0.1

Equilibrium : (x - 0.1)             0.2

Now, expression for K_{p} of this reaction is as follows.

     K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

          K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{NO_{2}}}{P_{N_{2}O_{4}}}

                 2 = \frac{(0.2)^{2}}{(x - 0.1)}

                2 \times (x - 0.1) = (0.2)^{2}

                            x = 0.12

This means that P_{N_{2}O_{4}} = x = 0.12 atm.

Thus, we can conclude that the initial pressure in the container prior to decomposition is 0.12 atm.

For the reaction represented by the equation Fe + H2O ® Fe2O3 + H2, how many moles of iron(III) oxide are produced from 285 g of
schepotkina [342]

Balanced equation: 2Fe + 3H2O → Fe2O3 +3H2

Convert g to mols:

285/55.845 = 5.1034 mols

Mole ratio of Iron and Iron (III) Oxide: 2:1

5.1034/2 = 2.5517 mols

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

<em>What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron </em>is<u><em> energy</em></u><em>.</em>

Explanation:

The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.

The <em>valence electrons</em> are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.

So, a <em>nonvalence electron</em> occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.

This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.
