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.

Consider an exceptionally weak acid, HA, with a Ka = 1x10 -20 . You make a 0.1M solution of the salt Na
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

pH=13

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the acid, we can suppose a simple dissociation as:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^+ + A^-

Which occurs in aqueous phase, therefore, the law of mass action is written by:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

That in terms of the change x due to the reaction's extent we can write:

1x10^{-20}=\frac{x*x}{0.1M-x}

But we prefer to compute the Kb due to its exceptional weakness:

Kb=\frac{Kw}{Ka}=\frac{1x10^{-14}}{1x10^{-20}}  =1x10^{-6}

Next, the acid dissociation in the presence of the base we have:

Kb=\frac{[OH^-][HA]}{[A^-]}=1x10^{6}=\frac{x*x}{0.1-x}

Whose solution is x=0.0999M which equals the concentration of hydroxyl in the solution, thus we compute the pOH:

pOH=-log([OH^-])=-log(0.0999)=1

Finally, since the maximum scale is 14, we can compute the pH by knowing the pOH:

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH=14-1\\\\pH=13

Regards.
