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.

what is the molecular formula of a compound with an empiricla formula of ch and a molecular mass of 78
Dovator [93]

Answer:

C6H6

Explanation:

We can obtain the molecular formula from the empirical formula.

What we need do here is:

(CH)n = 78

The n shows the multiples of both element present in the actual compound. It can be seen that carbon and hydrogen have the same element ratio here. We then use the atomic masses of both elements to get the value of n. The atomic mass of carbon is 12 a.m.u while the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 a.m.u

(1 + 12)n = 78

13n = 78

n = 78/13 = 6

The molecular formula is

(CH)n = (CH)6 = C6H6

How many grams of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) would be required to make a saturated solution in 1000 grams of water at 50 degrees
Pavel [41]
<span>Since,
1000 grams of water = 1000 mL of water</span><span>
So, 
At any of the given temperature:
</span>1000 mL = 10 x 100 mL
<span>
moles of NH4Cl = 53.5/53.49
                          = 1.0 m
                          = 1.0 mol/Kg
Delta T = 2 x 1.86 x 1.0
             = 3.72 c
             = - 3.72 °C</span>
