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:
Solution A is 1,000 times more acidic than Sol. B
Explanation:
for pH values we use scientific notation:
-log10 c (where c is the hydrogen ion concentration) is used to notate pH value (think of it as a unit)
ie:
10^-2 is sol A 10^-5 is sol B
5-2 is 3
10^-3 = 1000
there's a diff of 1,000 between the solutions.
Answer is: because weak acids do not dissociate completely.
The strength of an Arrhenius
acid determines percentage of ionization of acid and the number of H⁺ ions formed. <span>
Strong acids completely ionize in water and give large amount ofhydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), so we use only one arrow, because reaction goes in one direction and there no molecules of acid in solution.
For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
<span>
Weak acid partially ionize in water
and give only a few hydrogen ions (H</span>⁺), in the solution there molecules of acid and ions.
For example cyanide acid: HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq)
+ CN⁻(aq).
<span>In a sample of solid Ba(NO3)2 the ratio of barium ions to nitrate ions is would be one is to 2 or 1:2. Barium ion has a formal charge of positive two which means that it needs two ions which has a formal charge of negative one or 1 ion with the formal charge of negative two. However, for this case, it is bonded to a nitrate ion which has a formal charge of negative one. Therefore, it needs two nitrate ions so that for every 1 atom of barium ion, we need two ions of nitrate ions.</span>
Answer:
a) After helping our partner, we should immediately report the incident to the lab manager or any person in charge of the emergencies occurring in the lab.
b) We should have a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet to give to the responders. This is because the responder can identify what materials were being used by the person ans what other security measures need to be taken.
