Answer:

SCN- is a weak field ligand while CN- is a strong field ligand

Explanation:

The spectrochemical series is an arrangement of ligands according to their magnitude of crystal field splitting. Ligands that cause only a small degree of crystal field splitting are called weak field ligands while ligands that cause large crystal field splitting are called strong field ligands.

Strong field ligands often lead to the formation of low spin complexes with the least number of unpaired electrons while high spin complexes are formed by weak field ligands.

CN- is a strong field ligand as it lies towards the right hand side of the spectrochemical series.

SCN- is a weak field ligand hence it forms a high spin complex having the maximum number of unpaired electrons for Fe^3+, hence the answer.

Briefly explain why an unbalanced chemical equation cannot fully describe a reaction?
zubka84 [21]

From the conservation of mass, matter is not created nor destroyed. So ponder it this way, for example I put one piece of toast in a toaster, but when it is done I had two pieces, that makes no sense right? Same thing with a chemical reaction but in molecular terms, all things must stay constant. If you put a convinced amount you have to get that quantity back, not less or not more in broad terms.

Calculate the molecular mass of glucose
yan [13]
  • Glucose = C₆H₁₂O₆.
  • Atomic mass of C = 12 u
  • Atomic mass of H = 1 u
  • Atomic mass of O = 16 u
  • Therefore, the molecular mass of glucose
  • = (6 × Atomic mass of C) + (12 × Atomic mass of H) + (6 × Atomic mass of O)
  • = (6 × 12) + (12 × 1) + (6 × 16) u
  • = 72 + 12 + 96 u
  • = 180 u

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

<u>1</u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>u</u>

The unique characteristic of the amino acid cysteine is _____.
shepuryov [24]

Answer: since it has a very reactive sulfhydryl group at its side chain. This puts cysteine in special position that cannot be replaced or substituted by any other amino acid. Because disulfide bridges formed by cysteine residues are permanent component of protein primary structure.
