Answer:

(a) [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ - Hexacyanoferrate(II) ion

Central metal atom -  Fe

Oxidation state of central metal Fe = +2

(b) [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ : Hexamminecobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Oxidation state of central metal Co = +3

(c) [Co(CN)₅(OH₂)]²⁻ : Aquapentacyanidocobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Oxidation state of central metal Co = +3

(d) [Co(NH₃)₅(SO₄)]⁺ :  Pentaamminesulfatocobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Oxidation state of central metal Co = +3

Explanation:

Oxidation number, also known as oxidation state, describes the number of electrons lost or gained by a chemical element.

(a) [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ - Hexacyanoferrate(II) ion

Central metal atom -  Fe

Let the oxidation state of Fe = x

Charge on CN⁻ ligand = (-1)

x + (-1) × 6 = -4

⇒ x = -4 + 6 = +2

<u>Oxidation state of Fe: x = +2</u>

(b) [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ : Hexamminecobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Let the oxidation state of Co = x

Charge on NH₃ ligand = 0

x + (0) × 6 = +3

⇒ x = +3

<u>Oxidation state of Co: x = +3</u>

(c) [Co(CN)₅(OH₂)]²⁻ : Aquapentacyanidocobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Let the oxidation state of Co = x

Charge on CN⁻ ligand = -1

Charge on H₂O ligand = 0

x + (-1) × 5 + 0 × 1 = -2

⇒ x = +3

<u>Oxidation state of Co: x = +3</u>

(d) [Co(NH₃)₅(SO₄)]⁺ :  Pentaamminesulfatocobalt(III) ion

Central metal atom -  Co

Let the oxidation state of Co = x

Charge on NH₃ ligand = 0

Charge on SO₄²⁻ ligand = -2

x + (0) × 5 + (-2) × 1 = +1

⇒ x = +3

<u>Oxidation state of Co: x = +3</u>

The compound adrenaline contains 56.79% c, 6.56% h, 28.37% o, and 8.28% n by mass. what is the empirical formula for adrenaline?
Phoenix [80]
To determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
         mass        moles
C       56.79        4.73
H       6.56          6.50
O       28.37        1.77
N      8.28           0.59

Dividing the number of moles of each element with the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:

</span>         moles                 ratio
C       4.73     / 0.59       8
H       6.50     / 0.59      11
O       1.77     / 0.59       3
N        0.59    / 0.59       1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>
