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.

14. What volume (mL) of water do I need to add to 425
Reptile [31]

Answer:

212.5 mL

both the original and the diluted solution have 0.765 moles of KCl

Explanation:

c1V1 = c2V2

V2 = c1V1/c2 = (1.8 M×425 mL)/1.2 M = 637.5 mL

(637.5 - 425) mL = 212.5 mL

n = (1.8 mol/L)(0.425 L) = 0.765 moles of KCl

since it's a dilution, the diluted solution has the same number of moles as the original solution, 0.765 moles of KCl

What is the energy of a microwave photon that has a frequency of 9.86 x 1012 Hz?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

6.533 × 10^-21J

Explanation:

The energy of the microwave photon can be calculated using:

E = hf

Where;

E = energy of photon (J)

h = Planck's constant (6.626 × 10^-34 J/s)

f = frequency (9.86 x 10^12 Hz)

Hence, E = hf

E = 6.626 × 10^-34 × 9.86 x 10^12

E = 65.33 × 10^(-34 + 12)

E = 65.33 × 10^(-22)

E = 6.533 × 10^-21J

The energy of the microwave photon is

6.533 × 10^-21J
