For each of the following pairs of complexes, identify which one you would predict to have the larger Δo value, and explain why.

(Assume an octahedral environment)
a. [Mn(H2O)6]2+ or [Fe(H2O)6]3+
b. [Fe(H2O)6]3+ or [Fe(CN)6]3−
c. [Fe(CN)6]3− or [Ru(CN)6]3-

Answer:

a) [Fe(H2O)6]3+

b) [Fe(CN)6]3−

c) [Ru(CN)6]3-

Explanation:

. [Mn(H2O)6]2+ or [Fe(H2O)6]3+

The both complexes are d5 complexes with the same ligand , water. Water is a weak ligand and note that Mn^2+ often have a crystal field stabilization energy of zero hence

[Fe(H2O)6]3+ will possess a greater ∆o value.

The splitting of d orbitals according to the crystal field theory depends on the;

i)geometry of the complex

ii) nature of the metal ion,

iii)charge on the metal ion,

iv) ligands that surround the metal ion.

When the geometry and the ligands are held constant, the order of crystal field splitting is as follows;

Pt4+ > Ir3+ > Rh3+ > Co3+ > Cr3+ > Fe3+ > Fe2+ > Co2+ > Ni2+ > Mn2+

[Fe(H2O)6]3+ or [Fe(CN)6]3−

[Fe(CN)6]3− will have a greater ∆o because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand compared to water. A strong field ligand causes a greater splitting of the octahedral crystal field compared to a weak field ligand.

. [Fe(CN)6]3− or [Ru(CN)6]3-

[Ru(CN)6]3- will exhibit a greater crystal field splitting. Crystal field splitting increases with the second and third row transition elements when compared to the crystal field splitting of the first row transition elements. Note that, there is an increase of approximately 30%–50% in Δo on going from a first-row transition metal to a second-row metal and another 30%–50% increase on going from a second-row to a third-row metal when they have the same geometry and oxidation state.

If you are given the molarity of a solution, what additional information would you need to find the weight/weight percent (w/w%)
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.

- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since molarity is mathematically defined as the moles of solute divided by the volume of solution and the weight/weight percent as the mass of solute divided by the mass of solution, we need:

- The molar mass of the solute, in order to convert from moles of solute to grams of solute.

- The density of solution, to convert from volume of solution to mass of solution.

For instance, if a 1-M solution of HCl has a density of 1.125 g/mL, we can compute the w/w% as follows:

w/w\%=1\frac{molHCl}{L\ sln}*\frac{36.45gHCl}{1molHCl}*\frac{1L\ sln}{1000mL\ sln}*\frac{1mL\ sln}{1.125g\ sln}    *100\%\\\\w/w\%=3.15\%

Whereas the first factor corresponds to the molar mass of HCl, the second one the conversion from L to mL of solution and the third one the density to express in terms of grams of solution.

Regards.

Based on the nebular theory of the solar system formation, explain how our solar system is formed.
Alika [10]

the nebular theory states that the solar systems developing <u><em>rotations </em></u>revolve around sun. it is located in the milky-way. revolving around the <u><em>sun</em></u>, with <u><em>gravity</em></u> pulling it, an interstellar cloud of dust and gas, is formed. (i.e. the nebula that we are speaking)

this formation is a<u><em> protostar</em></u>. the idea in the theory states that the <u><em>nebula</em></u> has flattened into a <u><em>disk</em></u> called the "protoplanetary disk"; and over time, the debreis eventually formed this disk. (i.e. creating the milky-way)

hopefully this helped, thank you!! :D

Explain why ionic compound do not form molecules.
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Because a molecule, by definition, has a valence of zero

(neutral charge, stable). Also by definition, an ion has a positive

or negative charge or valence and is not stable.

What is 0.00034 in exponential form
Verizon [17]

Answer:

3.4  ×  10 ^− 4

Explanation:

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the  

10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
